Pavillon Louis-Jacques-Casault

Pavillon Louis-Jacques-Casault is a university building on the Université Laval campus in Quebec City housing classrooms, administrative offices, and specialized labs across several floors. The structure contains media production facilities and audio-digital labs where technical learning and hands-on research take place alongside traditional academic spaces.

Architect Ernest Cormier designed the structure in the 1950s as an academic building reflecting post-war modernization at Université Laval. The building emerged during a period when the university expanded its physical campus and academic programs.

The building honors a priest and educator who shaped Université Laval in the 1800s, with his legacy reflected in how students use the spaces today. Modern practices like media creation and collaborative projects continue this tradition of hands-on learning within these walls.

The building is accessible from Avenue du Séminaire with several entrance points for different areas and departments. Be aware that it is an active academic space with restricted access to certain zones, so a valid student or visitor pass may be needed to enter all areas.

One room on the upper floors functions as an informal gathering spot where students meet between classes for social activities and leisure. This space reveals the daily social rhythms that shape campus life beyond formal instruction.
