Banff National Park Visitor and Community Centre: EVOQ qualified in the international architecture competition
EVOQ + Ryder is pleased to announce its qualification in the international architecture competition for the Banff National Park Visitor and Community Centre.
From coast to coast, our team is committed to designing a place that is deeply rooted in the landscape and spirit of the Rockies. A vibrant public space that provides a true-to-place experience for visitors that inspires exploration, builds stewardship, and encourages connection and celebration.
Parks Canada is advancing work to redevelop the 200-Block of Banff Avenue to support visitor reception, enjoyment, and connection with the rest of the park, and to foster understanding of protected areas like Banff.
This is a unique, once in a generation opportunity to redevelop 10 contiguous lots within an internationally-recognized World Heritage Site into a vibrant public space that provides a true-to-place experience for visitors that inspires exploration, builds stewardship, and encourages connection and celebration.
Given the scope and legacy of this project, Parks Canada has contracted the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) to oversee an International Design Competition that will bring more variety to the design options and is a proven way to achieve excellence in building design and architecture.
