t’s back to the future for Edmonton’s long-deserted Queen Elizabeth II Planetarium.
The city and the Telus World of Science-Edmonton have come to an agreement to renovate and restore the beautiful old planetarium as a teaching, reception and production space. The deal will take one of Edmonton’s truly landmark buildings out of stasis and give it a new mission.
“It was the right thing for us to do, to work with the city to bring the QEP back to life,” says Alan Nursall, president and CEO of the Telus World of Science. “It’s our heritage. It’s our legacy. It’s where we came from. We want to preserve it as an icon of Edmonton history.”
The city has commissioned Architecture|Tkalcic Bengert to come up with designs to restore the building to its 1960 glory, complete with updates to make it accessible for people in wheelchairs and others with mobility impairments. The city also plans, at long last, to grant the building heritage designation and protection.
“We’re more than halfway through the design process,” says Trish Kuffler, the city’s program manager for facility design and construction.
The city plans to put the construction contract out to tender in the first quarter of 2017. The hope is to start construction this spring and for the Telus World of Science to take possession in time for the 2018 summer camp season.
The project will have a budget of about $6.6 million.
It’s a sensible plan for one of Edmonton’s most quirky and beautiful works of public architecture, and for Canada’s first public planetarium.
Any word on when they start filling in the floors at ECC, 240? I remember seeing that in the DPs, so I initially thought that's what all the yellow construction walls was there for.
About time - opening this office in Vegreville instead of a large city (which will always have a bigger influx of immigrants) has always reeked of Mulroney-era PC pork barrelling to me.
