Construction to start this fall on 300,000-square-foot building
VANCOUVER — After more than a decade, construction on the long-anticipated new home for the Vancouver Art Gallery is expected to start in the fall.
Shovels will be on the ground this fall for site remediation with construction slated to begin early in 2024, said Vancouver Art Gallery CEO Anthony Kiendl. “I feel like today is a new beginning and that actually gives me a lot of energy.” But more than the 300,000-square-foot building — designed by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron and Vancouver firm Perkins + Wills with collaboration from Indigenous artists — it’s what will be housed inside it that’s important.
The groundbreaking ceremony marked a significant milestone for the project which has raised $340 million, or 85 per cent, of its $400-million fundraising target.
