Exceptional closure

Dear customers, dear visitors,

After a complete technological renovation carried out over the past three years, the CICG is now offering you an interior renovation and will soon adopt a resolutely modern, bright and airy style.

As a result of this work of renewal, the CICG shall be closed from December 7, 2020 until the end of April 2021.

During this period, our Varembé Conference Centre (CCV) remains open for the organization of your events, whether they are face-to-face, in hybrid or virtual format.

We look forward to welcoming you in Spring 2021 in our renovated Centre!

The renovation of the CICG includes 7 main components

new carpet laying in all the main areas of the Centre
new ceilings and light fixtures throughout the CICG
a new reception desk
the complete renovation of our bar
renumbering of rooms and spaces
creation of a co-working area

Infrastructure

Space relooking

The current ceilings will be dismantled and replaced with canvas ceilings which will significantly improve the light and acoustics in all spaces.

By its color, the carpet introduces the vegetal element. It is ideal for reducing and absorbing noise pollution.

Wood and stone add building blocks of our planet.
