Pavillon Adrien-Pouliot

Pavillon Adrien-Pouliot is a university building at Université Laval dedicated to engineering education and research. The building houses multiple engineering departments along with laboratories and offices serving chemistry, civil, metallurgy, materials, electrical, computer, geological, and mechanical engineering programs.

The building was designed by architect Lucien Mainguy and constructed in 1962, receiving its name in honor of mathematician Adrien Pouliot. Pouliot served as dean of engineering from 1940 to 1956, shaping the university's academic direction during that period.

The building displays numerous public artworks, including sculptures by Gilles Mihalcean and a wall mosaic by Omer Parent in the applied sciences section. These art pieces are visible throughout the entrance areas and corridors, shaping how visitors experience the interior spaces.

Access to different areas depends on the specific department, though most corridors remain freely accessible. The building includes elevators and stairways, but visitors should be aware that elevator service to some upper levels is limited.

The ground floor houses a geology museum featuring a collection of minerals and rock samples from the region. Access is somewhat limited due to restricted elevator capacity, making it one of the building's lesser-visited sections.
