Valued at $500 million—and supported through equal contributions from the Government of Canada, Government of Alberta and The City of Calgary—the expansion will increase the BMO Centre’s total floor space to nearly one million square feet, more than doubling its rentable area. When the dust settles, it will be the largest such facility in western Canada and will give Calgary top-tier destination status in the competitive international meetings and conventions market.
The project team for the BMO Centre expansion was tasked with designing a building that captures the essence of Calgary, conveying the best of the city to convention patrons and Calgarians alike.
The new building’s interior spaces will be ample and adaptable—with bright, open and scalable ballrooms, meeting rooms wired for instant connectivity, and smaller breakout areas that safely facilitate those all-important human connections.
The design of the outdoor plaza engenders a sense of open space while paying homage to the Corral that once stood on this site—centre ice was in this very spot. The BMO Centre’s new outdoor spaces will invite people to experience the natural surroundings, diverse amenities and friendly hospitality Calgary is so famous for.
