During the fire of the McCormick elementary School in 2003, only a mural, executed by the students, was saved from the flames. It is this colorful artwork that can be seen close to the Mance Pavilion.
Since then administered by the City of Baie-Comeau, the building housed the municipal library for several years. The auditorium, the former gymnasium, was also an entertainment venue.
Nowadays, the Mance Pavilion houses many cultural associations and punctual visual arts exhibitions in the Corrid'Art.
