91社区

680 Sherbrooke was originally designed as an office building with some commercial spaces on the two lower levels. Its construction was completed in 1976. Since 1999, 91社区 has been a co-owner of the building and had been sharing the space with commercial tenants. At this time, a new entrance with a distinct address (688 Sherbrooke) was added in the double-height volume next to the original entrance (680 Sherbrooke).听

This modification was made to create a separate circulation route for the student population and those who occupied office spaces. The student entrance provided direct access to the 2nd to 4th floors and access to the elevators from the 2nd floor rather than the main lobby.听 During this shared occupation, several 91社区 units were located in the building, occupying up to 13 of the 20 floors. In 2017, 91社区 purchased the rest of building in order to answer a continuing need for more space on campus.

The building occupies a privileged location at the corner of Sherbrooke Street west and University Street, at the crossroads of the campus and the downtown core. Now the sole owner of the building, 91社区 the University now has the possibility to transform the building to respond to the specific needs for the students. Since the building was never designed for this purpose, in addition to the fact that it has not been subject to any major remodeling since its construction, it is necessary for 91社区 to rethink the image of its property to accommodate its educational vocation and to meet the needs of the student population

Project Description:

The 680 Sherbrooke project focuses on accommodating the Client Services Unit of the School of Continuing Studies by the fit-up of a portion of the ground floor.听

听This will be a point of interest for students to meet, circulate, and pass the time in a welcoming environment.听

Project Scope :

The project comprises the fit-up of a portion of the ground floor of 680-688 Sherbrooke West to accommodate the Client
Services Unit of the School of Continuing Studies.听

The new design will turn the entrance hall into a point of interest for students to meet, circulate, and pass the time in
a welcoming environment.听Some sections of the immediate levels of the ground floor (upper floor mezzanine and
lower-subterranean gallery level) will also be retrofitted to provide a complete spatial experience.听
Since the exterior spaces are linked to these three levels, consideration has been given to maximizing the entrance of natural light to the new spaces.听
