Place des Pionniers redevelopment [115 Rue Principale, Aylmer] | U/C

I thought I had created a thread for this one, but that may not be the case.

Aylmer's City Hall and Central Library built in the 1980s has been considered for redevelopment for quite a while. The City has now released the three finalists from the design competition.

Place des Pionniers: Gatineau dévoile les finalistes du concours d’architecture

La Ville de Gatineau annonce une nouvelle étape dans la construction du nouvel édifice Place des Pionniers. Lundi, la Municipalité a dévoilé les projets finalistes.

Quatre projets se sont hissés en finale. Les résidents de Gatineau ont pu les découvrir, lundi soir, et s'exprimer sur leur projet coup de cœur.

Les résultats du vote coup de cœur ont été transmis au jury, avant ses délibérations qui se tiendront à huis clos.

Le projet lauréat et la recommandation du jury seront présentés aux membres du conseil municipal qui devront se prononcer sur cette recommandation à la fin du mois de mai, lors d'un conseil spécial.

La présidente de la Commission des arts, de la culture, des lettres et du patrimoine de la Ville de Gatineau, Isabelle N. Miron avait invité les citoyens à participer en grand nombre au vote pour leur projet coup de cœur.

Les quatre projets :


BGLA Architecture et ses partenaires


BGLA Architecture et ses partenaires ont fait la première présentation de la soirée.

Ceux-ci proposent un complexe en quatre structures qui offrent chacune une vue sur le quartier. Une terrasse, un agora et une mezzanine doivent être aménagés à différents niveaux pour offrir des lieux de rencontres aux citoyens.


Dans le projet de BGLA Architecture, une place publique sera aménagée à l'avant du bâtiment.

Le revêtement extérieur est inspiré d'une raquette en babiche, on retrouve d'ailleurs des éléments de texture visuelle qui rappellent le croisement des cordes de babiche.

Firme In Situ

Le second projet, celui de la Firme In Situ, se veut un rappel de la brique rouge que l’on retrouve dans tout le quartier. La terre cuite et le verre se marient pour offrir une façade lumineuse.


Le projet de la Firme In Situ offre beaucoup de place à la nature, déjà bien présente dans ce pâté de maisons.

La nature est au cœur de ce projet. Une cour intérieure est aménagée au deuxième et troisième étage, un belvédère trône au troisième étage et un espace est prévu pour l’agriculture urbaine sur le toit.

Le revêtement extérieur est en terre cuite et s'agence avec les autres bâtiments du quartier.

Atelier Big City

Le troisième projet de la soirée, présenté par l'Atelier Big City, se caractérise par la palette de couleur faite sur mesure pour respecter l'inspiration de l'ère victorienne de plusieurs des maisons avoisinantes.


La troisième proposition, de Atelier Big City, est la plus colorée du lot.

Une ruelle verte est aménagée avec une aire de jeux pour les enfants et une porte de garage qui donne un accès direct au fab lab du rez-de-chaussée.

Du trottoir, il est possible de faire du lèche-vitrine, puisque la façade a été pensée pour que le personnel de la bibliothèque puisse exposer des livres intéressants ou des nouveautés.

Firme Pelletier De Fontenay

Le dernier projet, celui de la firme Pelletier De Fontenay prévoit l'aménagement d'un espace public du côté du parc commémoratif. Une ceinture verte vient également délimiter l'espace.


Dans le projet de la firme Pelletier De Fontenay, le toit a été pensé pour piquer la curiosité des passants. On y trouvera des jardins thématiques.

C'est le toit qui attire l'attention dans cette présentation. On compte y aménager des jardins thématiques inspirés des quatre saisons et en faire un arrêt obligatoire pour les passants.

Un projet de 44 millions de dollars

Adopté il y a près de deux ans, le projet de réaménagement de l'édifice Place des Pionniers, au cœur du Vieux-Aylmer, prévoit notamment abriter la nouvelle bibliothèque Lucy-Faris sur deux étages.

Le troisième étage du futur bâtiment sera occupé par les services municipaux. Le coût du projet avoisine 44 millions de dollars.

La facture de 44 millions de dollars comprend la nouvelle bibliothèque Lucy-Faris, mais aussi la démolition de l'édifice, dont la structure est trop instable pour tout agrandissement. Cela comprend également le déménagement temporaire des services qui s'y trouvent. Les travaux pour la bibliothèque en tant que telle coûteront 22,5 millions de dollars.

Les travaux de réaménagement devraient être terminés en septembre 2024.

Woof, the Atelier Big City concept hurts my eyes. It brings in elements from "papa" at Maisonneuve and Allumettieres which I don't love. The others are nice. It will be a nice improvement for the area no matter who they go with.

As someone who has many rentals in the area and is frankly considering a move as well (due to covid). My vote is with Architecture49.

I still can't believe that the original building already needs to be torn down.

That was one crappy building. A true comedy of errors.

Sooo, apparently the City already chose the winning design. I was under the impression that they had released the four designs to gather public feedback, but apparently not.

EDIT: might have just been a very short window for public feedback.

The winning project did not get the most votes from the public. It only received 29.2% of the vote compared to BGLA with 35.4% (which was \the local Councillor's fave as well).

The Lucy-Faris library will be moving to the old Aylmer cinema location while this new structure is built. Demo of the current building is set for this Fall, with the new building opening in 2024.

The library is the second busiest in the Gatineau system.

I'm expecting a sticker shock once bids come in, followed by a long delay, which is something that has been pretty standard in Gatineau for the last 10 years.

Ottawa could see the same once the bids come in for it's new central library, I'm sure.

I agree. Too much going on. For sure, it has a lot of elements of "Papa", and I'd say Montreal's convention centre. It would have stood out like a sore thumb. Could be cool in a modern suburban centre.

Pelletier de Fontenay was a bit on the plain side, but stll nice. It could have been a good addition that would not compete with the historic core of Aylmer.

I think BGLA was my favourite proposal, breaking down the building in multiple blocks with different but compatible materials and generous plaza opening views up and down the street.

The winning in situ design was a solid second choice for me.

A few presentations felt amateurish, with basic 90s looking site plans.

Someone tagged it with graffiti, wouldn't call that nothing.

At least it isn't the infamous 'JT' that tags crap near my kid's school.

That ramp was there from before?

My 14 year old rode his bike by here yesterday and asked, "you know about construction and stuff, right? What is going on at this place?"

I have no answers. This thing seems stalled for some reason.

You would think the replacement building would be put up immediately and with haste considering all of the municipal services housed within. Wait a second, it's Quebec, what am I talking about? They don't give a damn.

I don't know what the hold up is.

Maybe we could get Slush Puppie to sponsor the construction.

Thanks!

It's a decent building, but it's missing something. Je ne sais quoi.

It looks like a university building from the 1960s...made up of a stack of shipping containers.

Will we be able to go above the first floor in this thing?

Man.. my teenage son is asking when they will finally start filling this hole. When teenagers notice something like this, it's taking too long.
