Projet
AP001.S6.1950.PR01
Description:
La construction de l’Université de Montréal s’est effectuée sur plusieurs années. Cormier est architecte en chef entre 1924 et 1947 et agit à titre d’architecte-conseil et d’ingénieur-conseil entre 1950 et 1961. Il semblait inévitable de diviser le cadre de classement en deux phases pour bien distinguer le rôle et l’implication de Cormier qui diffère durant ces deux périodes. La présence de deux plans d’ensembles très différents proposés en 1931 et 1961 appuie cette décision. En 1950, Cormier est nommé architecte-conseil et ingénieur-conseil pour la deuxième phase des travaux, alors que Ludger Venne agit à titre d’architecte pour le Centre social et les Résidences Étudiantes, Gaston Gagné pour la Polytechnique et Paul Lambert pour le Chalet de Sport. Tout en supervisant l’élaboration des bâtiments, Cormier soumet un nouveau plan d’ensemble pour la deuxième phase de construction de l’Université de Montréal. Celui-ci inclut un nouveau centre hospitalier, un bâtiment administratif, une porte monumentale, le HEC, un stade et une bibliothèque. Le projet sera cependant refusé par la direction de l’Université de Montréal, voyant le projet ambitieux et trop coûteux. Il quittera donc en 1962 son poste de consultant. Pour cette sous-série, il est important de distinguer deux types de documents. Il y a d’abord les dessins produits par Cormier et sa firme, incluant les nouveaux plans d’ensemble, le stade, le bâtiment administratif, la nouvelle bibliothèque, le centre hospitalier, la cafétéria, le gymnase et la piscine. Ces documents seront limités à des esquisses et des dessins de présentation, suite à la décision de la direction de l’UdeM de ne pas entreprendre ces projets. En second lieu, il y a les documents d’exécutions des autres architectes, comme Lambert et Venne, qui ont été utilisés et modifiés par Cormier à titre de consultant.

Projet
AP056.S1.2000.PR08
Description:
This project series documents buildings for Concordia University's downtown campus in Montréal from 2000-2009. The office identified the project number as 0004. This project eventually became known as Le Quartier Concordia. This project was the winning submission of an architectural competition by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects, in joint-venture with Fichten Soiferman et Associés Architectes, to design an integrated, vertical campus to revitalize and reinvent the University. This project consisted of three interconnected high-rise buildings on either side of Montreal's Guy Street, below De Maisonneuve Boulevard, to rehouse three important faculties: Visual Arts, Engineering and Computer Science, and the John Molson School of Business. These three buildings had glazed curtain wall exteriors with copper-coloured metal lines that created visual consistency inside and outside of all three buildings. Large art installations were also included on the façades. Triple-height atriums on the ground floors of the Engineering Building and the John Molson building added welcoming, public areas to the campus, and connected pedestrians to the Guy-Concordia metro station below. The tops of these two buildings featured massive north-south canopies that pointed from Montreal's Mont Royal down to the St. Lawrence River. The shorter Visual Arts building was directly connected to the Engineering building and today they are known together as the EV Building. The building interiors, comprised largely of stone tiles and concrete, featured large, multi-storey spiral staircases in a nod to the famous exterior spiral stairs of Montreal homes.[1] The Engineering and Visual Arts buildings were completed in 2005 and the John Molson building in 2009. Recladding of the exterior of another campus building to match these was completed in 2011.[2] It should be noted that these project materials were donated to the CCA part way through the project's realization. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 2000-2003. The drawings are mostly originals but reprographic copies and printouts of CAD drawings are also included. The drawings consist of sketches, digital renderings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and construction drawings. The textual records are arranged within the drawings and consist of research.
