Go Multimedia had the privilege of collaborating on one of the most ambitious heritage restoration projects in Quebec: the renovation of Montreal City Hall. This emblematic building, erected between 1872 and 1878 and classified as a national historic site, underwent a major transformation orchestrated by Beaupré Michaud et Associés, in collaboration with MU Architecture.

 

Our mandate was to design and integrate state-of-the-art audiovisual and technological systems, in harmony with the site's heritage architecture. The objective: to offer citizens and elected officials a renewed, accessible and connected experience, while respecting the historic soul of the building.

 

We implemented a tailor-made approach, combining technological discretion and performance, to equip the Council Chamber, Executive Committee, press rooms and protocol areas. Integration took place in a spirit of close collaboration with the architects and other project professionals, as part of an integrated design process (IDP).

 

The project, which took more than seven years to complete, brought a symbol of Montreal democracy back to life. In this emblematic location, technology plays a key role, acting as a veritable political megaphone at the service of citizens. Thanks to an exemplary energy renovation, a respectful expansion and a complete technological upgrade, Montreal's City Hall today stands as a model of sustainability, innovation and citizen participation.
