Lemay’s extensive historical research and award-winning master plan for Old Montreal’s Administrative District informed this sensitive restoration of the formerly crumbling and closed-in Place Vauquelin to its former glory. The historic public square now benefits from a spectacular fountain and modern, subtle ingenuity that engages visitors and makes the landmark universally accessible year-round. Its every aspect considered for maximum comfort and exceptional user experience, Place Vauquelin reclaims its role as the premier lookout for beholding Montreal’s urban and historic panoramas.
