The Palais des congrès de Montréal is a convention centre in Montreal's Quartier international at the north end of Old Montreal. Its borough is Ville-Marie. Construction began in 1977 and completed in 1983; the Palais opened on 21 May 1983. [1] [2] Victor Prus designed the original building. [3]
Place-d'Armes station is located in the building with an underground connection to and from the convention centre.
Some of the land for Palais des congrès was expropriated from Chinatown, Montreal, [4] along with building of Complexe Guy-Favreau. Plans to expand the Palais began in 1997. [5] It was expanded from 1999 to 2002, doubling its capacity from 92,000 square metres (990,000 sq ft) to 184,000 square metres (1,980,000 sq ft). The expansion was designed by a consortium of three firms: Tétrault Parent Languedoc; Saia Barbarese Topouzanov; and Aedifica, with Hal Ingberg. [6]
This was the venue for the 2022 United Nations Biodiversity Conference, which led to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
