Technical Tour

QEII Parking Garage

Join moderators Andrew Levatte, Strescon and Stephanie Nowe-Morris, SNMArchitect Ltd to view the transformation of a conventional parking garage into a work of art and a community-enhancing space.  The design process, supported by Nova Scotia’s public art consultant, culminated in choosing an artist who skillfully replicated textiles from Nova Scotia’s rich history.  The garage is partially clad with stainless steel grillage, which provides an aesthetic ‘mask.’ The grillage was laser etched with images according to the design of a local artist selected in a competition.

Designed as demountable and can be used either permanently or semi-permanently, features include Bluetooth wireless technology, extra-long spans of precast double tees and lite walls, which provide more natural light and stability, and much more.

This is a 10 minute walk from the Conference Centre.
