Montreal’s Maisonneuve Library
In the heart of Montreal’s vibrant Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve district, the Maisonneuve Library stands at 4120 Ontario Street East. It is a beacon of the fusion between historical heritage and architectural modernity. Since its inauguration in 1981 in a majestic Beaux-Arts style building, this institution has undergone a remarkable transformation. This renovation was proudly carried out by Groupe SOMR. With the support of Montel’s avant-garde solutions, it has tripled the library’s surface area. This project marked a decisive chapter in the library’s history and was also a source of great pride and satisfaction for our team.
