Vanguard Fellows toured Bâtiment 7, a 90,000 square foot abandoned train repair station located in the deindustrialized and rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood of Pointe-Ste-Charles. It is being transformed into a neighbourhood-owned, multipurpose community hub. Bâtiment 7 was one of the six community partners selected for the Big Idea Challenge.
