Our Next Adventure (Shift challenge 2021 – Selected Project) https://www.shiftchallenge.ca/project/ontario-place-on-to-our-next-adventure/
Ontario Place is an expression of the province’s rich cultural and architectural history. Its future should contribute to the liveability and appeal of a multicultural, sustainable, and equitable province. Unfortunately, its current management has resulted in several architectural elements being demolished, a decrease in visitors, and the degradation of a sense of community.
Taking full advantage of its location, this plan proposes to conserve and enhance this historic site while suggesting opportunities for contextually appropriate growth. To emphasize Ontario Place as a symbol of change and adaptability, the site could be converted into an innovation hub—a joint effort amongst various Ontario universities and colleges to develop ideas for studies such as environmental biology, aquatic ecology, and limnology.
