Montréal is launching a multidisciplinary architecture competition to develop the Peter-McGill Centre, in order to create a vibrant and revitalizing flagship project for the neighbourhood. The new project will form the neighbourhood’s nerve centre, serving as a forum for public innovation and a focal point for citizens and organizations who develop activities in tune with today’s needs in order to create a better tomorrow—a venue for culture as a vector of change and citizen empowerment.

The project’s construction budget is $13,853,942 plus taxes.

Eligible applicants will include at least:

• one sponsoring architect,
• one structural engineer with 5 years’ experience,
• one LEED AP or AE mechanical engineer with 5 years’ experience,
• one LEED AP or AE electrical engineer with 5 years’ experience,
• one co-ordinating architect with 10 years of professional experience and who has carried out at least one project of a scope comparable to the project covered by the competition,
• one design architect with at least 5 years’ experience,
• one LEED AP architect with at least 5 years’ experience,
• one interior designer with at least 5 years’ experience.
