The Stageline Group Building

OVERVIEW

The Stageline Group constructs and markets covered mobile stage trailers which are used internationally for over 10 000 events annually. For their new production and leasing facility, the Stageline Group made the decision to build a highly efficient industrial building. The 3,670 m2 facility contains a production plant for Stageline mobile stage trailers, a maintenance workshop, an assembly and pre-event production area, and office space. The facility was the most energy efficient industrial building in Quebec at the time of its opening.

The design was conceived around the notion of a sustainable prefabricated building, and its completion is a North American first. The integrated design process promoted the synergy between the client, the architects, the engineers and the contractor. The energy efficiency of the building reflects the client’s corporate commitment to environmental protection.

Sustainable construction at a reasonable cost and the use of technology was balanced throughout the design and construction process. Modelling made it possible to incorporate the most cost-effective and energy-efficient technologies. In keeping with the purpose of the building, the design is simple and efficient, but at night, the lighted building dominates the landscape like a stage.

  MuroxEnergy Prefabricated Walls
The building design is based on a prefabricated envelope system, resulting in very little construction site waste and better management of post-industrial manufacturing waste.

  reduced light pollution
Exterior lighting is angled to reduce light pollution, and is controlled by a photoelectric cell set to the astronomical timetable.
[ CLICK FOR Solar Shading, Daylight & Lighting ]
 
  PRODUCTS & MATERIALS
Steel structure has a high proportion of recycled steel and the walls are clad with white steel to help diffuse light.

  thermal solar wall
Fresh air is drawn into a cavity between the solar wall and the exterior metal cladding. The dark metal cladding warms this air, which is then released into the building.

  WATER CONSERVATION
Water for non-potable uses is drawn from nearby ponds further reducing use of potable city water.
