Gareth Hoskins Architects shortlisted for
Fork York Visitor Centre project, Toronto, Canada
Following on from their competition winning schemes for Culloden Battlefield
and Housesteads Roman Fort on Hadrian's Wall, Gareth Hoskins Architects
Ltd have been shortlisted as 1 of 5 competing teams for the design
of the new £15M visitors centre at Fort York in Toronto. Working
with local practice RAW Design and battlefield archaeologist Tony
Pollard from GUARD and tv's 'Two Men in a Trench', the team will develop
design ideas for a submission this summer. Gareth Hoskins Architects
are the only international practice to make the shortlist.
The new 25,000 square foot visitors centre will include a visible
point of entry to the site, a significant gateway, reception, retail
sales, food service, and other facilities to enhance the visitor's
experience. Site orientation, interpretive programs, exhibition space,
increased travel trade to the site, a sustained community presence
and permanent space for curatorial offices and administrative functions
will also be included in the design.
The current Fort York, built on the garrison established in 1793,
the site of a turning point in the War of 1812, is one of the earliest
settlements that would become the city of Toronto. Fork York is an
outstanding resource for learning and discovery, and a cornerstone
in the City's plans for urban revitalization.
