The Augustinian Monastery project includes a museum visitor’s path describing the legacy of the Augustinian Sisters and their contribution to the development of health care in Quebec. It also encompasses the archives, an exhibit hall, a restaurant, areas reserved for retreats, and a guest room section focusing on holistic health. An entire floor has been added above the sisters’ residence to house a conservation facility for the collections of all the Augustinian monasteries in Quebec.
The project also includes a new reception hall, a structurally separate interstitial building where the circulation paths from the various wings intersect. This glassed-in section reflects the community’s openness, houses the reception areas, clearly defines the circulation zones, and showcases the historic buildings’ façades. Conceptually, the reception facility consists of a central hall bordered by a screen wall in an analogy of the grating in the large parlor (the sisters were cloistered until 1960) and a transparent connecting structure housing the walkways in front of the Nuns Choir.
The project involves restoring the roofs and façades of the old wings, replacing the windows and storm windows, adding staircases, upgrading the building, integrating mechanical components into the old buildings, rehabilitating the structure, restoring and reorganizing the interior from the ancient vaults right up to the roof, adding modern bedrooms, restoring the finishing and built-in furniture, landscaping, and demolishing tunnels, the existing hall, and various annexes.
