New Museum - Canadian Canoe Museum

canoemuseum.ca canoemuseum.ca

The elegant design for the Canadian Canoe Museum is the result of a Joint Venture between Heneghan Peng, Dublin and Kearns Mancini Architects, Toronto. Now in production, this design was selected in a two stage process from an international line up of architects.

Located in Peterborough, the building program combines the Canoe Museum collection and the Liftlock Visitor Centre with a new revenue generating, hospitality program. The design will provide a suitable environment for the preservation and display of the collection, provide an exciting venue for visitors to enjoy and will operate in a sustainable manner.

The 80,000 sf museum is designed to engage visitors, display the museum’s collection and provide an educational and thought provoking experience. The building engages the surrounding landscape, making the arrival and approach part of the experience. An extensive landscaping program on the roof and activity programs at the water’s edge and adjacent to the building animate the outdoor spaces.

I'm looking forward to the opening of this beautiful building which is on a great site in Peterborough by the water. ( I became a member last week). The existing site is in a warehouse building off Landsdowne St . which houses a wonderful collection that will show very well in the new structure.

Chandos signs on to start Canadian Canoe Museum project​


October 4, 2021

PETERBOROUGH, ONT.—The Canadian Canoe Museum (CCM) has announced that construction of its new facility in Peterborough, Ont. will begin this month following the purchase of property on Ashburnham Drive from the City of Peterborough.

Recently, the museum signed a CCDC 30 integrated project delivery contract with Chandos Construction and Lett Architects valued at $27.4 million. Design services and construction work will how proceed.

The sale was subject to a number of conditions including rezoning, project validation and confirmation of site appropriateness, all of which have been met to the satisfaction of both the museum and the city, stated a release. The museum paid $1.575 million for the five acres of land. The project is slated for completion in 2023.

CCM intends to sell its current property on Monaghan Road to help fund the project in addition to a fundraising campaign that has raised just over 82 per cent of the $40 million needed to complete the overall project.

“The Canadian Canoe Museum is thrilled to have completed these critical milestones so that we may commence with construction as planned in October,” said Carolyn Hyslop, executive director of the museum, in the release. “Our project team is working at lightning speed to stay on schedule so that we may be ready to open the new museum in 2023.”

The new museum will enable the museum to house 100 per cent of its collection in a building that meets Class A conservation standards, directly on the water, which allows for increased on-water and in-person programming, the statement said.

Project partners besides Chandos and Lett include LEA as structural engineer, Kelson Mechanical as mechanical trade partner, DG Biddle & Associates undertaking mechanical and electrical engineering, Lancer Electric and Engage Engineering.
