This is part two of a series exploring a Civic Core Plan created by a group of concerned citizens of Prince George who understand the importance of incorporating the vision of user groups to create a multi-use facility in the heart of the city that will not only improve quality of life but also establish a strong path to economic growth.
The Active Living Centre will embrace the Vernon’s vision to deliver a facility that not only meets the needs of a growing community, but also strives to attract new residents and visitors to the area. The new facility will be accessible, inclusive, fun, family-friendly and orientated towards participants of all ages and abilities.
The new facility’s indicative design is more than 120,000 square feet and includes two theatres and a studio space that will serve a variety of arts and community events. The facility is looking to include a main stage theatre with 1,200 seats, small theatre with 450 seats, studio flexible space, rehearsal, production and education spaces, administrative spaces, resident tenant spaces, underground parking, meeting rooms, commercial space, support and storage areas, including consideration for climate-controlled storage areas and building systems.In Kelowna, council endorsed the 2020-2025 Cultural Plan on Sept. 16, 2019.
The Civic Precinct area, also known more broadly as Kelowna’s Cultural District, sees future plans that include mixed-use development to support downtown living while preserving sites like the Kelowna Community Theatre, City Hall parking lot and Memorial Arena for future civic uses to support a dynamic Cultural District.
