Event Centre & Program Centre

  • Window Installation: The installation of windows has been completed, enhancing the exterior functionality while enclosing the buildings so that crews can keep working safe from the cold. This step is crucial for maintaining the construction schedule during the winter months.
  • Impact on Energy Efficiency: The new windows are designed to improve energy efficiency, reducing heating costs and creating a more sustainable facility. These windows feature advanced insulation technology, which will help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round.


Flooring for the Event Centre & Program Centre

  • ​Cement Pouring: Fresh cement has been poured and leveled, marking a significant milestone of the flooring phase. This process ensures a strong and durable foundation for the interior spaces. The cement used is of high quality, ensuring longevity and resilience.
  • Next Steps: Once the cement has cured, the next steps will include installing the final flooring materials, such as tiles or carpets, which will add the finishing touches to these areas. The choice of flooring materials will be both aesthetically pleasing and functional, suitable for the diverse activities planned for these spaces.

Interior Structures

  • ​Progress on Interior Walls: Steady progress is being made on the interior walls and other structures, with daily advancements ensuring the project stays on track. The framing, drywall installation, and initial painting are all underway. These walls will define the various rooms and areas within the Event Centre and Program Centre.
  • Next Steps: Electrical and plumbing work will commence alongside the structural work. These systems are essential for the functionality of the new spaces. The electrical work includes installing lighting fixtures, outlets, and wiring for audio-visual equipment, while the plumbing work involves setting up restrooms and kitchen facilities.

Looking Ahead

  • ​Upcoming Milestones: In the coming weeks, crews will focus on completing the interior finishes and installing fixtures. These steps are critical to ensuring we meet our target for a Spring 2025 reopening.
  • Community Involvement: We encourage community members to stay engaged with the project by following our updates on social media and participating in upcoming events. Your support and enthusiasm are vital to the success of this expansion. We will also be conducting surveys to gather feedback and suggestions from the community.
