Description:
The project's objective is to renovate and reinvent the Museum and cultural center along a National Historic Site of Canada. Located at 5220 St-Laurent in Montreal, the building was constructed in 1914 as a garment factory and once housed a synagogue and Jewish school. From 1984-1996, the building was home to Le Lux, a restaurant, bar and magazine shop. The building, having not been publicly accessible in over 25 years, needs major renovations to be reinvented as an inviting space that will re-engage Montreal's diverse Jewish communities and the people who live and work nearby. Once renovated, the Museum will be accessible to the public, offering a variety of modular and multi-purpose spaces, including an event space, gathering areas, and a café on its 1st floor. The 2nd floor will host a gallery for exhibitions, installations, screenings, and events. The 3rd floor will include a food lab, classrooms, and admin spaces for the Museum, our partner organizations, and community members.
