Lloydminster Science & Cultural Centre, Saskatchewan, Canada
Undertaken with architects S2 Architecture of Calgary, the Science and Cultural Centre is an important new nucleus for arts & cultural activities, learning & research. Notable collections from the existing museum including the Imhoff paintings, and the Larsen and Fuchs collections will be displayed in new state of the art exhibition spaces, alongside flexible galleries for touring exhibitions.
The galleries are north lit for optimal display, whilst the library wing is light, open, transparent and filled with activity.
Light has been carried deep into the heart of the public spaces, through the foyer and 3 courtyards, to create key orientation points within the building’s plan, changing its mood over the course of the day and with the seasons.
The horizontality of the building’s form acknowledges Lloydminster’s strip pattern development, while the new enclosing landscape refers to the typology of the sheltering tree belts characteristic of the surrounding prairies.
