“This project has been discussed for three decades.” – Ken Johnson, P.Eng.
Through an international design competition, Canadian consulting engineering firm Exp has been selected to provide civil engineering for a new heritage centre in Iqaluit, Nunavut.
The firm will work with Dorte Mandrup Architects, Guy Architects, Adjeleian Allen Rubeli (AAR), Pageau Morel, LEES + Associates, Panaq Design and Altus Group to deliver the 55,000-sf Nunavut Inuit Heritage Centre (NIHC).
The $140-million facility (renderings pictured) will support the preservation and continuation of Inuit practices, heritage and cultural education, integrating into the local landscape and serving as a symbol of reconciliation.
