Winspear Centre Completion Project | 29.87m | 4s | Winspear Centre | Andrew Bromberg

Small anecdote. We have friends visiting with us from Spain and I was showing them all the buildings around Churchill square. I asked someone at the door to the winspear if we could peak inside, and he said he’s not supposed to but he could let us. He let us step inside the main performance hall and the symphony was in rehearsal. It was beautiful. Almost brought a tear to my eye. What a special space this is in a downtown that is struggling a little bit to find its footing

This brought a tear to my eyes (sharing it also in Oilers thread). Love when our arts and sports communities come together.

does anybody know what the roofing material is? I'm pretty sure it isn't wood, kind of looks like that recycled plastic "wood" folks use for outdoor decking.

On the agenda: Sewer lines, costly policies, community revitalization levy

This week, city councillors will meet to discuss proposed changes to sewers that could save the city more than $500 million, existing policies that potentially add millions to the cost of building municipal assets, and hear from the public about the proposed extension to the downtown community...

• The first phase of construction for the downtown district energy system, which includes connections to Winspear Centre, Century Place, and Chancery Hall, is nearing completion and utility operations are expected to start soon. Administration has developed a utility fiscal policy to guide utility operations, debt financing, financial planning and utility rate setting. Council’s utility committee is set to review the policy on June 23, and then council will make the final decision at a future council meeting.

Did they eliminate the large landscaping island on the plaza? Seems to me like they did.

They will need security 24/7 to protect all that glass from the local street life.

I really like it, but I wonder how it would have looked if instead of the grey/silver horizontal elements were the same colour as the original building to tie the two together.

Here's hoping they will brighten, enliven that SEC plaza.

Is this green terrace still happening?

There will be a planting scheme but not anything like these renderings.

I do hope that we see some positive movement on the block across the street from the Winspear as well as the Harbin gate to be finally reinstalled in its new home.
