As part of a broader plan to redevelop the infrastructure on the city side of the Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL), the 2,800-parking spaces facility redefines the typical car park through a dynamic design approach. Spread over four levels, the structure has a footprint of 28,545 m² and a total surface area of 111,484 m², which includes premises for car rental companies, waiting and assistance areas for users, and charging stations. 

The project stands out for the high architectural quality of its perforated envelope, which allows for natural ventilation while protecting from the elements. Extensive research was carried out for this pilot project, resulting in innovative solutions that could be incorporated into future installations. These include several features of sustainable design, such as a green roof, “maintenance-free” landscaping, photovoltaic panels, and an automated management system to direct motorists. It is interesting to note that the structure has been designed to be modifiable for other purposes—such as office space—after its use as a parking lot.

Envision Silver certification is being sought for this project.
