Description
Technoparc Montreal is a City of Montreal nonprofit organization dedicated to Montreal’s technological development. The agency, in partnership with the City, wants to create the Hubert-Reeves Eco-campus, a LEED-certified neighbourhood development of about 25 buildings housing science and technology companies, as well as green spaces, all located on some 40 hectares of parkland. The site selected is an industrial park managed by Technoparc Montreal, located south of the Saint-Laurent Cegep campus in the Saint-Laurent borough. To ensure the success of this initiative, the City of Montreal and Technoparc Montreal will conduct three studies: an environmental site assessment; a surface water management study; and a feasibility study of community energy solutions for the project. All three studies will support environmental objectives in the City of Montreal sustainability plan, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving rainwater runoff quality and making Montreal a North American leader in the environment and clean technologies industry.
