Heritage refurbishment | Office

Accessibility Simplified worked within a diverse project team of Perkins&Will |

Provencher-Roy JV, to apply a universal design and accessibility lens in the

development of the built and landscape environments for the re-development of Place

du Portage III (PDP3)

​​PDP3 is a megastructure consisting of six connected towers that vary in height, in two

stepped blocks, one on either side of Boulevard Maisonneuve—four towers to the east

and two to the west, connected by a covered three-storey pedestrian bridge. PDP3 is a

“Recognized” Federal Heritage Building because of its historical associations, and

architectural and environmental values.

​Accessibility Simplified completed an accessibility audit of the existing heritage building,

followed by 30-60-90 % |SD-DD-CD & IFT/IFC] accessibility reviews of the new

architectural drawings for built and landscape environments.
