The Trait-d’Union Center of Malartic

The adult education center operated by the Centre de services scolaire de l’Or-et-des-Bois was completed in 2010. The building’s architecture features distinct form for each function. The wooden arch that caps the school allows plenty of natural light to flood the indoor walkways through a huge glass wall, while the single-story administrative area near the main entrance is ensconced behind opaque walls. Spread over two floors, the classrooms’ windows are aligned in vertical strips, adding interest to the volume.
