Retrofit of the Le Windsor heritage building to bring together all 475 employees of Desjardins Securities (VMD). In integrated design, this project consisted in the fit-up of 5 floors (138 000 pi²) and included the transformation of an immense 8-storey glass window into an ultramodern trading room (offering improved comfort in terms of air and ventilation quality). It also included the construction of a balcony with a view on the trading room, the construction of a large reception area, the fit-up of multimedia rooms, the fit-up of a computer room with a preaction fire protection system, the implementation of a new emergency distribution network including a new generator and UPS systems, and various other fit-ups such as office spaces, conference rooms, telecommunication rooms, cafeteria, gym and showers, mail room, lockers, kitchenettes and kitchens.
