Clothing Technology Laboratory

Fashion design students are actively working on projects in a well-equipped workshop with sewing machines and design stations.

Techno-Espace, located at the heart of LaSalle College, is a space for expertise and research intended to meet the needs of companies producing technical clothing and specialized products made of flexible materials*. Its mission is to contribute to the development of Canadian expertise in the technical and specialized clothing sector, by offering a range of consulting services and courses in research, development and design (RD&D).

Working in various sectors of the industry, such as outdoor clothing, uniform, protective clothing and high-performance clothing markets, the Techno-Espace team has managed to develop efficient research mechanisms, which, in turn, have led to increased product functionality and optimized product performance.

* The expression “product made of flexible materials” includes clothing and merchandise made of textile material, although not exclusively so. In fact, the development of products made of flexible materials can extend to products resulting from industrial design which require similar development, construction and prototype stages.
