The Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) is one of Canada's most prominent French-language universities, its central campus sitting at the heart of Montreal's vibrant Latin Quarter and Quartier des spectacles. UQAM's urban campus buildings are an established part of the city's architectural fabric, and maintaining their façades to the standard the institution demands requires specialist expertise.
In 2022, Darwen Terracotta was appointed to carry out exterior elevation terra cotta block replacements, including decorative elements and cornices. Each unit was handcrafted in Blackburn, Lancashire, to faithfully replicate the original profiles and finish, restoring the character and integrity of the façades while ensuring their longevity for years to come.
It is one of a number of significant Canadian restoration commissions we have undertaken, reflecting the growing reputation of Darwen Terracotta as a trusted specialist supplier for heritage terra cotta restoration across North America.
Every building has a story worth preserving. We'll help you match its original character, down to the finest detail.
