Details released today on what the new BMO will look like:

|
The Calgary Stampede and development partner Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) are thrilled to unveil the design for the expansion of the BMO Convention Centre – Calgary’s premier meetings and convention venue since 1982. This visually stunning expansion, valued at $500 million, will significantly grow and modernize the facility and enable Calgary to host major conventions on a global scale.

Are we going to refer to 2015-2025 as the decade of wood design in Calgary?

Stunning architecture is always a fantastic way to get people excited about their city, especially one trying to build a new identity. This is good.

From the renderings, I really like the design. It does a great job of addressing the midway, while also providing an interesting facade to McLeod
