Pavillon Charles-De Koninck, University building at Université Laval in Sainte-Foy, Canada.
Pavillon Charles-De Koninck is a university building on Université Laval's campus in Quebec City that houses multiple academic departments including anthropology, languages, linguistics, political science, historical sciences, and social work. The structure brings together these diverse academic functions in one location and serves hundreds of students and faculty daily.
The pavilion was designed in 1964 by architect Édouard Fiset as part of Université Laval's campus expansion. It reflects a period of academic growth and modernization for the university in Quebec City.
The building houses departments focused on language, society, and human behavior. These fields shape the academic work and exchanges that happen here daily.
The location is easy to find on campus and has dining options nearby for breaks between activities. Visitors should know that the reception area has limited hours, so checking ahead before important matters makes sense.
The building features a glass-walled extension with a flowering rooftop garden that absorbs rainwater. This design element saves energy and shows an early approach to sustainable architecture in academic construction.
