The new theater Le Diamant will bear Epsylon’s mark

We are very proud to announce that we have obtained the mandate for the realization of the glazing architecture that will be the signature of Robert Lepage’s new theater Le Diamant, in Quebec city.

The architecture of the new Diamant shows a great concern for keeping the historical heritage of the city in this new entertainment venue. The ancient facade of the YMCA will be completely restored, while a massive glass caisson, which will constitute the building envelope, will be inserted with an inclination that will join the line traced by the côte d’Abraham, a street that formerly linked the lower town to the porte Saint-Jean. Epsylon is honored to take part in this wonderful project that will perfectly combine traditional architecture and contemporary style, thus offering an exceptional showcase for Quebec city’s cultural richness.

Congratulations to all our team!

Maison Manuvie is inaugurated in Montreal!

Epsylon has just finished another beautiful project! Click here to watch Radio Canada Economy’s report on the inauguration of Maison Manuvie (in French), a new office tower in Montreal that follows in the footsteps of another one of our great realizations, Deloitte tower.

Once again, congratulations to all our team!

Campus MIL: almost half of our curtain walls are installed!

Here are new photos of the construction site of Universite de Montreal’s Campus MIL. The works are going fast: almost 45% of the installation of the curtain wall facade is now completed. The building will be closed before the end of December, just in time for January’s winter cold. A great achivement for our team!

 

Welcome to our new website!

We are happy to finally launch our new website, totally revamped to better reflect our brand image!

We hope you like its new design, and we invite you to visit right now our new Projects page, where you can easily browse through all our realizations and find the information you are looking for with the help of the appropriate filters.

For any inquiry, please write to us!

The construction of the MIL Campus is underway!

The construction of the new University of Montreal MIL Campus had certainly begun and is well underway. Our team began the installation of prefabricated curtain walls on one side of the building. Soon, all the facades will be covered in curtain walls… Stay tuned for pictures as work progresses!

The Carré St-Laurent: a new project for Epsylon!

We are very proud to get this mandate which consists of elaborating the exterior envelope of the new Carré St-Laurent in Montreal. This brand new mixed-use building complex of approximately 260,000 sq. ft. will showcase, as of 2019, a unique commercial space for grocery purposes, on the ground floor, the Montreal History Centre on the first floor as well as 700 employees from the government of Quebec that will be spread out over 8 floors in the south tower. As for the north tower, it could accommodate a hotel with a capacity of approximately 150 rooms. Such project aims to obtain a LEED NE certification in accordance with sustainable development principles.

This new building will undoubtedly become an icon in downtown Montreal, at the corner of St. Laurent Boulevard and Ste. Catherine Street.

Congratulations to the whole team!
