The Old Border Theatre

pre-construction

Unoccupied for several years, the Border Theater, located at 250 rue Dufferin, Stanstead, Québec, requires a major overhaul. The building will be renovated and enlarged, with the addition of a mezzanine. Dressing rooms and a sanitary block are to be added. Electrical, mechanical, and lighting systems will be upgraded to be energy efficient. They will add a motorized door operator at the entrance, a wireless hearing assistance system, and an obstacle-free path to make all areas accessible. The goals of the Project are to offer services and activities to people from disadvantaged neighbourhoods and the artistic community, as well as design a building that will promote the preservation of the environment.
