Located in the d’Estimauville eco-district, the CNESST head office plays a pivotal role in the sector’s revitalization strategy. With a surface area of 34,500 m² and an indoor parking lot with 640 spots, the building brings together more than 1,800 employees. Its work and lounge spaces are structured around an eight-story atrium featuring a wooden structure and a glass façade. The various technical challenges that were overcome are a testament to Coarchitecture’s innovative approach.
