The Gérald-Godin College project required the complete renovation of a centennial building and the addition of an adjacent five-storey building. The project also includes the preservation of certain architectural features of the former Domrémy centre. The conservation works mainly targeted the stained-glass windows, the old chapels and some terrazzo rooms. Nearly 40% of the Pauline-Julien gymnasium and auditorium are located underground.

Among the challenges encountered, Construction Socam was able to stay within the budget envelope, and the constraints related to a tight schedule and deal with the difficulties that come with underground construction.

The project has received numerous awards and accolades, including the Orange - Rénovations Sauvons Montréal 2000 Award and the Canadian Architect Magazine Award of Excellence in 1999. The project was also presented at the Vienna International Biennale of Architecture in 2004.
