Since 1996, UQROP has been planning to build an interpretation center. This building will be able to open to the public year-round. Following the strategic planning in June 2015, it became clear that the incomes generated by the year-round opening will ensure the sustainability of the organization and the development of the full potential of Chouette à voir! This is why UQROP wants to build an eco-responsible building according to its values of nature conservation and reduction of the environmental impact of the site’s activities. The building will accommodate an average of 200 visitors per day.

It will be an innovative, ecological and unique building with the highest energy performance in Quebec and Canada. A net zero and zero carbon building that will open its doors in 2024. The building will be built and operated in a sustainable development perspective with ecological materials, reduced water use and waste reduction.
