Des Cerisiers Elementary School
Saint-Paulin, QCDes Cerisiers Elementary School in Maskinongé combines thoughtful design with a strong emphasis on sustainable wood construction, serving both educational and community needs. The renovation and expansion include new classrooms, workshops, a gymnasium, and gathering spaces, using engineered wood and light framing for a cost-effective yet robust structure. Wood is extensively employed throughout the building, from structural elements to interior partitions, with bio-based finishes and wood fiber insulation enhancing sustainability. The dining area connects to a courtyard and gardens, integrating local food practices into the curriculum. Outdoor spaces, including the gym and sports facilities, create a vibrant, green environment for students and residents. This nature-integrated design highlights local craftsmanship and resources, offering an inspiring and sustainable learning space.
