hoping this is just a rough render, as it seems quite overkill, especially while the patio space seems quite cramped. Even if its as not as public of a facility as other types, it should still be held to a higher standard especially given its central-ish location (so it appears). As a cultural hall/ centre, you'd think a large outdoor space/garden would be appealing for outdoor/summer events?
Those are existing parking lots from the adjacent lots. But I agree, it would be nice if they eventually convert them.address for this? The building looks good, but what's with the two seas of asphalt on either side of the building
I love parking as much as the next person on this site haha. But one consideration for a cultural hub like this might be their desire to gather people from all corners of the city. Unlike a more local or regional business or hub, cultural/religious/ethnic centres are often trying to draw people from every part of the city. Therefore parking needs might be higher.
The LRT stop is right there and after all it’s the City Centre. You would think they would need less parking rather than increase the volume adjacent to a hospital.
Not only that, but most of the events will be family oriented, making car trips multi-occupant.
The parking in the front is probably for both this building and the Polish Hall. The rear parking is as stated for AHS.
