Under the guidance of the Arts Office, the Lower Lonsdale Cultural Facilities Study was prepared for the City of North Vancouver by the consultant team of Proscenium Architecture & Interiors together with Lydia Marston-Blaauw (Cultural Consultant).
In its most basic terms, the 'Study' provides a flexible, broad-based planning framework to guide the City's future planning and decision-making in respect of three key issues:
-
The use, restoration or redevelopment of the PRESENTATION HOUSE ARTS CENTRE site, and the buildings that currently occupy it.
-
Relocation of the key arts and heritage organizations currently based in the PRESENTATION HOUSE ARTS CENTRE (the North Vancouver Museum and Archives, Presentation House Gallery and Presentation House Theatre).
- The potential for Lower Lonsdale to act as a cultural precinct that will contribute to the liveability and economic vitality of the City.
The Lower Lonsdale Cultural Facilities Study is available in .pdf format. Please Note: file sizes vary between 2.3 MB and 8.6 MB - download times may vary!
