Glenbow Museum | 43m | 9s | DIALOG

Why do all our public buildings/infrastructure projects take decades to build? Eau Clare plaza is going on what, 3-4 years? The new Art Commons and Olympic Plaza will take over 3 years. Feels like the Glenbow has been at this for 2-3 years already. How the hell can a new 18,000 seat arena be built faster than an outdoor plaza or a small theatre?

For Eau Claire, Arts Commons and Olympics Plaza: "Money, money, money... Money." Funding is staged over multiple years. AKA they're on the payment plan.

Probably because it generates a lot of money and they can throw more construction resources at it?

Opening up that corner will be a huge win!

Opening that corner really helps take away any bunker feeling from other parts of the building.
