The ExpoCité administrative center stands out from neighboring architecture thanks to its dynamism, its pure lines and sequential frontage. Its style is contemporary but the building integrates well with its surrounding by using similar materials such as metal panel and glass and the use of vibrant colors. The texture and coloring of natural stones and red cedar facing bring warmth to the project.

The ExpoCité administrative center was designed with a sustainable development approach and integrates the following standards:

• Densification toward the Urban environment;
• Use of thermal mass;
• Natural light and passive solar energy optimization;
• Use of low-energy lighting;
• Preservation of the existing layout and use of indigenous plants.
