Place Montreal Trust

Place Montreal Trust is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Place Montreal Trust rather than just read about it. In short: Place Montreal Trust is a shopping mall in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, located west of the Eaton Centre, at the corner of Saint Catherine Street and McGill College Avenue in the city's downtown core. With over 320,000 square feet (29,729 m2) of stores and services, Place Montreal Trust attracts 14 million visitors each year.

Key takeaways

Place Montreal Trust belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Place Montreal Trust to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Place Montreal Trust from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Place Montreal Trust is a shopping mall in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, located west of the Eaton Centre, at the corner of Saint Catherine Street and McGill College Avenue in the city's downtown core. With over 320,000 square feet (29,729 m2) of stores and services, Place Montreal Trust attracts 14 million visitors each year. Its indoor water fountain has the highest water spout in North America at 30 metres in height. Place Montreal Trust is linked to the Underground City of Montreal. The Bell Media Tower is part of the Place Montreal Trust complex. Place Montreal Trust is named after the Montreal Trust Company which was a lender for its construction as well as one of its original co-owners (along with CDPQ and Cadillac Fairview-Shafter) and the main tenant of the tower.

History

Place Montreal Trust was originally proposed to house a concert hall, in the mall's mezzanine and basement level. However, this design called for an office tower that would partially obstruct the view of Mount Royal from McGill College Avenue. The plan encountered public opposition, including from architectural activist Phyllis Lambert, a member of the board of directors of Cadillac Fairview, who participated in protests against her own company's plan. This idea of a concert hall on McGill College was abandoned in favour of a design for Place Montreal Trust with a wider setback, as part of a redesign of McGill College Avenue as a widened scenic avenue. The shopping mall of Place Montreal Trust was opened on March 30, 1988. Ivanhoe Inc assumed the management of the shopping mall in August 1995, while Cadillac Fairview continued to manage the office building. On July 7, 1999, Ivanhoe acquired 100% of Place Montreal Trust as part of a $20 million package intended to position Place Montreal Trust a major player in the Downtown Montreal revitalization plan. In July 1998, Place Montreal Trust became home to Montreal's Planet Hollywood restaurant. The restaurant did brisk business for the first year, but closed in September 2001. The entrance to the restaurant was on the North/West corner of the Saint Catherine Street as well as the third floor of the mall. It has since been converted back to retail space.

Atrium and fountain

Place Montreal Trust's atrium allows maximum use of natural light and features a large indoor water fountain. Its 30-metre water spout is the highest in North America. During the holiday season, a giant illuminated Christmas tree filled with animated storybook characters stands just as tall. The mall spreads out over 320,000 square feet (29,729 m2) and attracts 14 million visitors a year.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Place Montreal Trust

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Place Montreal Trust claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Place Montreal Trust before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Place Montreal Trust ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Place Montreal Trust

In research: Place Montreal Trust appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Place Montreal Trust in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Place Montreal Trust is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1988 establishments in Quebec, Buildings and structures completed in 1988, Downtown Montreal, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Place Montreal Trust outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
