- Building
- Library
The borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie has launched on July 9th, 2009, a Québec-wide architecture competition for construction of the new Bibliothèque Marc-Favreau.
The library is to be built on the site of the former municipal yards, located south of Boulevard Rosemont between Rue Saint-Denis and Rue Saint-Hubert, and extending as far as Rue Carrières. A park named in honour of actor Luc Durand will be built not far from the library at the same site, on which some 500 residential units will also be built, including two community housing projects and one condo development.
The library, which will incorporate the existing heritage building at 700 Boulevard Rosemont, is one of the central elements in the revitalization of this neighbourhood, which aims to become a model for urban planning based on families, social mix and sustainable development.
