Global Centre for Pluralism
Ottawa
The Global Centre for Pluralism is a project of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada. The Foundation has leased the former War Museum at 230 Sussex Drive from the Government of Canada and will rehabilitate and add to this structure to create the GCP. This has also created an opportunity to upgrade the surrounding neighbourhood setting. At the initiative of the Foundation and in collaboration with other key stakeholders including the National Gallery of Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint and the National Capital Commission a joint approach to precinct planning is being undertaken along the Ottawa riverfront from the Rideau Canal to the Rideau Falls and along Sussex Drive extending inland to the popular Byward Market area. The Foundation has engaged Ken Greenberg along with Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB) and HR&A Advisors Inc. to undertake the preparation of this strategic neighbourhood Precinct Plan.
