CULTIVATING AN INSPIRING, MODERN AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT

Recognizing that people have a need for purpose and personal fulfillment, we must rethink how we work and live together.

This means transforming our university, in terms of our practices and our infrastructure. We need to revisit the way we operate and communicate in order to promote discussion and gain insights from people with diverse backgrounds and skills. We also need to update our tools and modernize our campus by creating dynamic spaces that support student life and learning, while also sparking creativity and innovation.

PROMOTE AN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE WHERE THOUGHTFULNESS, COLLABORATION AND OPENNESS ARE VALUED

Our goal is to ensure a safe working environment where all Polytechnique employees have the opportunity to develop their full potential and contribute to the university’s mission.

Guided by our values, we will encourage people to share ideas and learn from each other. In addition to fostering respect and effective collaboration, we will strive to achieve improved engagement, job satisfaction and personal wellbeing.

TAKE OUR BUSINESS PRACTICES TO THE NEXT LEVEL THROUGH DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

By adopting powerful digital tools, we aim to make our practices more efficient while also improving dialogue within our community. As we become more agile, we will be able to offer students a more personalized experience.

This digital transformation will also enable us to gain a deeper understanding of our environment, which in turn will support informed, data-driven decision-making.

CREATE A CAMPUS THAT PROMOTES CONVERSATION, COOPERATION AND NEW DISCOVERIES

We must ensure that our campus is more than just a place for learning and research. It needs to serve as both a community space and talent incubator where everyone has the opportunity for discovery, exploration and growth.

Polytechnique’s major campus development project reflects our ambitious vision for the future.

We will renovate our main buildings and expand our facilities with leading-edge teaching and research environments. We’re developing new classroom approaches to support more interactive teaching methods, as well as new laboratories featuring the world’s most advanced technologies.

We will also be creating new common areas to promote interdisciplinary knowledge-sharing and collaboration. To stimulate innovation and support entrepreneurship, we will designate some areas for ideation and conceptualization.

By removing barriers to knowledge sharing, we aim to promote learning, creativity, cross-disciplinary collaboration and the development of social and professional skills, all of which are essential in today’s world.

Last but not least, we will bring nature back onto campus to underscore our commitment to creating a greener society. Our outdoor amenities will blend harmoniously with the mountain and local ecosystem, and be available for all Montrealers to enjoy.
