A lively, multi-purpose and luminous venue!
Grand atelier is a 1400 sq. ft. room with a bright, industrial feel. It can accommodate all kinds of events, from birthday parties and assemblies to meetings and film screenings.
In 2022, we have collectively decided to turn the grand atelier into an event space, for the activities of our occupant projects and active members, and also open to the community.

Accessibility
Reduced mobility: Building 7 is 100 m from the sidewalk, and the Grand Atelier is located on the upper floor of the building. There is a ramp and a passageway to enable people with reduced mobility to reach the entrance. This door is not automated, so some may need assistance to enter. There is an elevator to the second floor and toilets on both floors designed for those with limited mobility. Please note, however, that we are not universally accessible. Some people may therefore need to be accompanied from the sidewalk to the room.
Parking
Bâtiment 7 does not have a parking lot. Visitors will have to find parking on adjacent streets. We do, however, have a drop-off point where you can drop someone off near the building and then return to the street to park.
Liquor license
If your event is private (an event aimed at a specific audience, such as members of an organization or a family), then you won’t need a reunion permit if you serve alcoholic beverages without selling them. This applies to events of less than 200 people only.
If your event is open to the public (ticketing and/or public announcement open to all), then you’ll need to apply for a reunion permit, whether to serve or sell alcohol.
Event organizers must apply for their own liquor license at least 15 days before the event.
Local-brewed beers for your event
Les Sans Taverne cooperative microbrewery, located in Bâtiment 7, offers a beer sales service tailored to your needs. Write to them for more info: ventes@sans-taverne.coop
Catering service
Bâtiment 7 does not offer catering services. However, it is possible to use the services offered by B7 members. It’s also possible to use an outside service, or to bring your own food. Here are a few suggestions for local services:
Sumac and Sugar (catering service by one of our members)
Tanya Stasilowitch (catering service by one of our members)
Nasima’s delicious samosas (and more!) : call 514-835-7058
Cuisine Atout (social integration enterprise in Pointe-St-Charles)
Le Détour grocery store, located in the building, offers many fresh foods and some prepared meals!
Kids birthday parties
We can reserve our room for children’s parties! However, you should know that the Press Start arcade, a project within Bâtiment 7, offers packages for celebrating your child in a co-op arcade! If you have any questions about their services, please read their information on children’s parties.
Noise & closing times
By renting the Grand Atelier, you’re choosing to support social and community-based economy in Pointe-Saint-Charles! In return, you agree to keep noise levels to a reasonable level, in order to respect our neighbors and to maintain good cohabitation between the projects occupying Bâtiment 7. We ask you to close the windows after 11 p.m. and to end your event at 1 a.m. to allow staff to clean the room and to leave the premises by 2 a.m. at the latest.
Exhibitions
A hanging system is now available for artwork! However, it is not possible to monitor your pieces 24/7. Please contact us with any questions.
