The ventilation and air conditioning project

Better-ventilated classrooms for our students, year-round

In February 2020, work began on the ventilation and air conditioning project in the original building. This phase was completed in time for the start of the 2020-2021 school year, on budget and on schedule. The majority of the work for the entire Collège is expected to be completed by late summer 2021.

The improvements are enabling us to provide classrooms with better temperature- and air-quality control in order to optimize our students’ learning experience and maintain a healthy environment.



Mr. Luc Thifault, General Manager Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf

” We have completed Phase One of a major project to upgrade classrooms, hallways and, in particular, the ventilation and air conditioning in all areas inside the original building. This is a big project funded by generous donors, especially parents, alumni, staff and friends. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you. We have also been able to bring the benefits of this air-quality improvement to students and teachers alike. They are very pleased to be in a stimulating learning environment.

The Collège will soon be a century old. We are facing challenges in terms of asset maintenance, and since the Ministry does not offer infrastructure support, it is thanks to you that we are able to carry out such important projects.”

“I want to congratulate the administration for the renovation of the premises and the ventilation and air conditioning work since last spring.

The scientific studies are clear: social distancing, frequent hand washing, the wearing of face masks and good ventilation are essential to limit the spread of COVID-19.

I donated to the Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf fundraising campaign. I invite you to join me in helping to complete the Collège’s ventilation and air conditioning project.”


An ambitious $5-million target
