Open House to View the Detailed Drawings of the Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan

The architects for the award-wining Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan will be in Saskatoon on January 12, 2012 to show detailed drawings of the Gallery to residents. The detailed drawings build upon the concept drawings shown and feedback received at the open house held in June 2011. The landscape plan, an overview of the sustainable building features, and building materials and finishes will be shown in more detail.

Also at the open house will be samples of the actual materials to be used for the building, such as the exterior metal, glass, wood, and stone. There will be a short presentation by the architects, followed by a question period.

The design for the Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan was recently awarded the 2011 Canadian Architect Award of Excellence by Canadian Architect Magazine.

The Gallery’s design is a creation of Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB) of Toronto in association with Winnipeg-based Smith Carter Architects and Engineers Incorporated.

The Remai Art Gallery of Saskatchewan will be located in River Landing, just west of 2nd Avenue and Spadina Crescent.  Construction is expected to begin in early 2013, with an opening in late 2014/early 2015.
