Robson Square Renewal - Ice Rink

A public consultation about the ice rink extension was held on Wednesday - here are some images from it and from the project's website.

Throughout the architect here is Clive Grout.

Other parts of this project include a retrofit of the complex (mainly to combat unstoppable leaks), redesign(?) of the Georgia Plaza, and a new Asia Pacific Pavilion - details on these will come later this year.
