Résumé
The project's objective is to renovate and reinvent the Museum and cultural center along a National Historic Site of Canada. Located at 5220 St-Laurent in Montreal, the building was constructed in 1914 as a garment factory and once housed a synagogue and Jewish school. From 1984-1996, the building was home to Le Lux, a restaurant, bar and magazine shop. The building, having not been publicly accessible in over 25 years, needs major renovations to be reinvented as an inviting space that will re-engage Montreal's diverse Jewish communities and the people who live and work nearby. Once renovated, the Museum will be accessible to the public, offering a variety of modular and multi-purpose spaces, including an event space, gathering areas, and a café on its 1st floor. The 2nd floor will host a gallery for exhibitions, installations, screenings, and events. The 3rd floor will include a food lab, classrooms, and admin spaces for the Museum, our partner organizations, and community members.

Description (French)
L'objectif du projet est de rénover et rétablir le musée et centre culturel le long d'un site historique national du Canada. Situé au 5220 St-Laurent à Montréal, le bâtiment a été construit en 1914 en tant qu'usine de confection et a abrité une synagogue et une école juive. De 1984 à 1996, l'immeuble a abrité Le Lux, un resto-bar, qui offre la vente de magazines. Le bâtiment, qui n'a pas été accessible au public depuis plus de 25 ans, a besoin de rénovations majeures pour être réinventé et devenir un espace accueillant qui permettra aux diverses communautés juives de Montréal et aux personnes qui vivent et travaillent à proximité de s'engager à nouveau. Une fois rénové, le musée sera accessible au public et offrira une variété d'espaces modulables et polyvalents, dont un espace événementiel, des zones de rassemblement et un café au premier étage. Le deuxième étage accueillera une galerie pour des expositions, des installations, des projections et des événements. Le troisième étage comprendra un laboratoire alimentaire, des salles de classe et des espaces administratifs pour le musée, nos organisations partenaires et les membres de la communauté.
