New Charlesbourg high school
This new building feature wood and aluminum, as well as outdoor classrooms and a natural multisport field.
OVERVIEW
The Société québécoise des infrastructures (SQI) has contracted the Coarchitecture and Brigad consortium to build a high school in Charlesbourg, on the site of the former Jardin zoologique de Québec. The school will accommodate up to 1,256 students and 130 teaching and non-teaching staff. It will include an open-air public square, covered outdoor spaces for teaching, as well as several facilities accessible to the community. The building will feature five learning zones and a sports center with five modular platforms. In addition, collective spaces such as a food hub, a biophysical hub, an atrium and an auditorium will also be included. A total surface area of 19,275 m² is currently under construction. The project is aiming for LEED Gold certification.
Architectural firm Coarchitecture turned to BIM One for strategic support and training in integrating BIM into its practices. As a result of this collaboration, BIM One was selected by the Coarchitecture and Brigad consortium to provide both architectural and overall BIM management for the new Charlesbourg high school project.
