Public Design Presentation - St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts
Back in November, CreateTO and TO Live announced the shortlist for an international design competition to reimagine the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts (STLC). The reimagined STLC will create a cultural ecosystem where renewed cultural spaces, innovative spaces, and gathering spaces will combine into a dynamic cultural and civic hub and, along with Meridian Hall and Berczy Park, anchor the Front Street cultural corridor.
Five shortlisted teams, each of which includes an Indigenous design partner, have been invited to develop a concept based on a detailed project design brief. The design component of the process will be judged by a jury of leaders in the fields of planning, urban design, architecture, Indigenous design, and landscape architecture.
Join on Tuesday, March 7, 2023 for a public presentation of these design concepts.
From February 20 to March 3, the shortlisted teams’ materials will be available at www.stlcnext.orgfor public comments. Further comments from the public will be taken in person or online during the public presentation on March 7.
For more information and to view the press release announcing the five shortlisted teams, visit www.stlcnext.org.
