Voltigeurs de Qu¨¦bec Armoury Reconstruction

Located in the heart of Old Quebec City, the Voltigeurs de Qu¨¦bec Armoury is the home of the oldest French-speaking battalion in North America. First opened in 1888, the prestigious building is the only Canadian armoury to be designated a historic site.

On the night of April 4, 2008, a major fire destroyed all but the building¡¯s fa?ade. Fortunately, the architectural integrity was preserved, as were most of the features behind its historic site designation.

The purpose of the Armoury reconstruction project was to transform the building into a multi-use facility with spaces to commemorate the history of the Voltigeurs de Qu¨¦bec, accommodate federal offices and incorporate a multipurpose hall for major events. The project also included development of a new terrace.

Stantec¡¯s Quebec team contributed its Â鶹´«Ã½ in electricity, fire safety and plumbing for this project. The entire design was completed using Revit 3DTM as part of an integrated BIM project.
