National Arts Centre Addition

This is the first feature gallery focusing on the renovation of the National Arts Centre, located in downtown Ottawa.  The gallery provides a glimpse of early construction on the interior including the closure of the coat check, parking pass room and the founder’s circle.  Upcoming work will include reconfiguring the current ticket lobby.  On the exterior, steel angles are being installed on the north elevation and tests are being conducted on the west elevation.
