​

As part of our interpretive master plan update for Canada Place , Grout McTavish developed the conceptual framework for an updated entrance arch for Canada Place. Our work involved the development of the artist brief and call for submissions and selection of the winning proponent.

​

The new arch concept developed by Susan Point and Coast Salish Arts will involve the construction of a new multi-dimensional arch relief supported by a new architectural enclosure. Working with the artist, our team is responsible for the final details of the installations supporting structure as well coordinating the fabrication schedule and Canada Place facility staff.
