On May 8, join us for the Nathan Phillips Square Revitalization Tour as part of the OAA’s 2013 Annual Conference. The tour will explore the completed portions of the ongoing revitalization project at Toronto City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square. Visitors will explore the Podium Green Roof Garden, the new Skate Pavilion, and the recently completed Theatre, as well as tour the overall site. The tour will also include a discussion of the vision and goals of the competition scheme and how it has evolved, the challenges of renovating a modern heritage site, and working on an active and much-scrutinized site.

The tour will be led by Chris Pommer (PLANT Architect Inc.) and Andrew Frontini (Perkins+Will Canada), design partners for the NPS project Joint Venture.
