Centre CDP Capital opens its door to the public for two days come for a tour during Archiculture!
Montréal, September 26, 2005 - This Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2, SITQ is holding an open house at CDP Capital Centre as part of the city's “Journées de la culture”. Montrealers are invited on a date with architecture, where they will get an inside look at this resolutely modern glass building constructed in the early 2000s and the works of art it houses.
From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors will have the opportunity to see firsthand the forward thinking that has gone into the interior design. They will also gain an appreciation for the architectural and bioclimatic special features that have earned the CDP Capital Centre numerous awards and recognitions in the past few years. In addition, the building's lobby and Parquet will host two exhibits featuring the works of Montreal photographers Nicolas Ruel and Jean-François Gratton. A supervised daycare service will be available.
Strategically located at the heart of the city's prestigious Quartier International, a large-scale urban development project with a global reputation, the CDP Capital Centre is home to the employees of the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and its subsidiaries. Constructed over the Ville-Marie expressway, it constitutes a structural link between Old Montreal and the city's business district. It is also a gateway to Montreal's 33-km underground pedestrian network.
The Centre is definitely worth a closer look. It is also easy to get to, with the Champ-de Mars and Square-Victoria metro stations just steps away. The Centre is at 1000 Place Jean-Paul-Riopelle.
