The CHUM Hospital Complex and Amphitheater was given the 2022 Excellence Award in the category Institutional Public Buildings, bestowed by the Ordre des architectes du Québec. Our people contributed to the of the inside of the amphitheater to ensure its multifunctionality. This rounded structure of imposing architecture can seat 365 people, but those seats can be retracted and put away to take advantage of the full surface area of the room. You can see what the amphitheater looks like from inside in this video. Congratulations to the consortium of architecture firms for this well-deserved prize!

Espace Paddock was awarded the 2020 Award of Excellence by the Ordre des Architectes du Québec, a project realized by the architects at FABG. We participated as consultants in technological integration during construction. Located at Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, this project also earned the Innovation Award.
