Ground level garden and elevated plaza between Salle Wilfred Pelletier and Ste. Catherine Street, constructed in conjunction with the new concert hall. Served as the site for the Jazz Festival for many years. It was subsequently altered considerably when the Musée d'Art Contemporain was constructed in the early 1990s. Playful lighting fixtures by Norman Slater, industrial designer, added a light touch to a serious building.
