The Canadian Museum of Nature has selected a joint-venture consortium of architects for the rehabilitation of its Victoria Memorial Museum Building (VMMB). After several years in the making, the museum's desire to proceed with a major renovation has now been given the approval to proceed with a $94-million renovation and expansion, despite the federal government's freeze on capital spending. The consortium comprises three notable firms and involves over 90 professionals. The three firms in the joint-venture consortium are: Ottawa-based Barry Padolsky Associates Inc. Architects (BPA), Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects of Toronto, and Gagnon, Letellier, Cyr, Architects (GLC) of Quebec City.
