Awesome!!! I know it's essentially just a reskin, but I wasn't expecting to see the new cladding so soon. Certainly looks promising!

It’s a lot more than re-skin, they’re doing serious structural reconfiguration inside. But yeah it’s going to be seriously beautiful. Funny to see this one lightyears ahead of Arts Commons, which has been in the works for over a decade…

More pics…

New museum facade, new event center, possible new arena. Am I the only one really excited about the next coming years for the city?

 

[badc0ffee]

I thought the event centre was the arena?

 

[boreal96]

My bad, I meant the BMO Center.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

… new performing arts centre, new art gallery, etc. On top of the already complete NCL and NMC. It's a good time for Calgary's culture and entertainment scene.

New train line? And if my radio is right we're getting a train to the airport too... haha

 

[UrbanWarrior]

Arts and Culture has always been where Calgary falls short in global livability rankings. The increases we’ve made (to becoming top in the western hemisphere) is because of the leaps in that metric over the past decade. This will only continue to intensify over the next decade.

Needs more ripples, less blank grey panels.

I’m disappointed with the way some of the curved panels interface with the flat ones. There’s a lip edge making it less seamless

Lookin’ good to me.
And I agree - really excited for the next 10 years in this city

Was worried about that from the mock-up.

 

[FCC1982]

I’m not seeing this lip edge you speak of.

 

[whatchyyc]

I think the shadow below the sharp corner is only giving the impression of a lip, but I still think it would've looked cooler if the ripples smoothed out into the flat panels
