Architecture that reflects the STM's image and emphasizes the citizen component The project stands out both for its innovative and bold approach to urban integration, and for the originality of the concept, which is based on four elements: - The shape: in line with the urban features along the railway route, the shape of the building draws its energy from the spiral and becomes a circular volume, a nod to the dynamics of the neighbourhood, imbuing the project with a singular character; - The plane: the project’s unified gesture, a roof that also functions as a large public square. It reaches out toward the surrounding residential area as it connects to the railway-adjacent linear park to the south; - The spiral: the root of the project, the spiral deployed becomes the internal bus traffic ramps, defining the building’s overall geometry; - The footprint: a bold strategy, a program integrated largely underground, across the entire site, minimizing the impact and countering the negative perceptions that usually result from the introduction of such a massive building, within the given context.

A project that surpasses expectations and obliterates preconceived notions The result of a sustainable development approach, this project is aiming for LEED GOLD v4 certification. The centre will also promote green transport when it eventually supports the operation of a 100% electric bus fleet. https://lemay.com/projects/centre-de-transport-bellechasse/
