The Sulpicians, who initiated the project, chose architect Eug\u00e8ne Payette after the first architectural competition held in Quebec for a library! <\/p>\n<p>The library was inaugurated in 1915 under the direction of Aegidius Fauteux. At the time, it was the largest French-language library in Montreal, located in the heart of the Latin Quarter. <\/p>\n<p>In 1931, it closed its doors, a victim of the economic crisis. The government purchased the building in 1942. Soon after, the Conservatoire de musique, founded by Wilfrid Pelletier, moved into the basement and set up teaching and practice studios as well as a concert hall in the amphitheater. The Conservatoire left the BSS in the 1960s. <\/p>\n<p>In 1967, the library was revived with the opening of the Biblioth\u00e8que nationale du Qu\u00e9bec (BnQ). Students, researchers, and readers of all kinds once again filled the premises. <\/p>\n<p>In 1988, the Biblioth\u00e8que Saint-Sulpice was classified as a historic monument by Lise Bacon, Quebec&#8217;s Minister of Cultural Affairs. <\/p>\n<p>In 2005, the BnQ merged with the National Archives and moved to a new building, the Grande Biblioth\u00e8que. Since then, the library has remained vacant. <\/p>\n<p>In 2005, the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al acquired the building before deciding to sell it in 2007. The Minister of Culture exercised her right of first refusal to acquire it (again). Since then, there have been numerous projects for the BSS, notably those of Le Vivier and FabLab, the latter of which was the subject of a multidisciplinary competition. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"mb-4 mb-md-0 offset-sm-1 col-sm-10 offset-md-1 col-md-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-ctn\">\n\t\t\t<div data-small-slider class=\"small-slider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"small-slider-image\" src=\"https:\/\/hmtl.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/bibliotheque_st_sulpice_facade_cr_m_legendre.png\" alt=\"slider image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"image-title \">Biblioth\u00e8que Saint-Sulpice<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"caption\">Source: Michel Legendre, Biblioth\u00e8que et Archives nationales du Qu\u00e9bec<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-custom-prev material-icons \">keyboard_arrow_left<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slide-custom-next material-icons \">keyboard_arrow_right<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"single-big-col\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-lg-8 offset-lg-2 col-xl-6 offset-xl-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Specific characteristics of the site<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"subtitle\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Saint-Sulpice Library is a magnificent Beaux-Arts style building. According to Guy Pinard, it is the \u201cmost refined\u201d example of this style in Montreal. This is particularly evident in the rich ornamentation around the windows and door. Note the entablature above the main door, which features a cartouche depicting an open book.<\/p>\n<p>The building is composed of three sections. The first comprises the fa\u00e7ade, the second has a gabled roof and contains the conference and reading rooms, while the third is rectangular with a flat roof and houses the bookshelves and service rooms.<\/p>\n<p>The interior of the Saint-Sulpice Library is also of exceptional quality and integrity. Richly decorated, the library features materials such as Caen stone (walls of the public rooms), marble (hall floor, grand staircase, floor borders, baseboards), oak (woodwork and furniture), and bronze (light fixtures and hardware, outdoor torches). The stained glass windows that adorn the fa\u00e7ade and the ceiling coffers of the great hall were created by Henri Perdriau.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  dark-version\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Threats<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Since 2005, the building has been vacant and is slowly but surely deteriorating: broken doors, graffiti, water leaks, etc., affecting both the building and its interiors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">News<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>In June 2022, it was announced that a new project would take shape within the walls of the Saint-Sulpice library: the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banq.qc.ca\/salle-de-presse\/la-musique-quebecoise-fera-revivre-la-bibliotheque-saint-sulpice\/\">Maison de la chanson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After Hydro-Qu\u00e9bec withdrew from the purchase of land intended to partially finance the project, the Ministry of Culture assured that the funds were already earmarked in the Quebec Infrastructure Plan (PQI) and that the Maison de la chanson in Saint-Sulpice was moving forward, but the timeline remained unclear and work would not begin until 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"full-width-text  \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col-md-6 offset-md-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-ctn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"title\">Actions of H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>Over the years, H\u00e9ritage Montr\u00e9al has spoken out on numerous occasions in favor of the Saint-Sulpice Library.
