It looks... *sigh*... ok?

From certain angles it might look a bit too Ripley's Aquarium, though.

Pretty basic institutional design.

^Thanks! I see HP mentioned but no Snöhetta.

HPA can do better than this incoherent Guggenheim-lite.

What was the design brief? Make it white like the rest of Ontario Place?

I'm actually shocked that they are spending more than a billion dollars on this.

Keep in mind that includes maintenance, so it's not all strictly capital. Moreover they're pushing finance on to the proponents which will greatly inflate the cost.

[Full Metal Junkie]

No joke, for solid few seconds I thought I was looking at a suburban GO station garage render. And only then I snapped out of it and remembered I'm in the science centre thread.

I'm scared to imagine what it will look like after value engineering.

So when will it be done by?

According to the press release, "as early as 2029".
