Engineer and project management firm SNC-Lavalin Inc. will open immersive digital hubs this fall at its key Montreal, London and Bangalore, India, offices to bolster its pivot away from high-risk megaproject construction and reinvent itself as a technology-savvy design and project management firm.
The “Lava Labs” that the Montreal company is building will enable users to “visualize, collaborate and deliver projects ... with greater certainty and speed,” it said in a press release. The spaces, which range from 850 sq meters to 1,234 sq m, will also accommodate interactive events, discussions and training on technical issues and on broader topics affecting its work such as climate change.
