Dec 18, 2014

On December 12th, National Music Centre of Canada held a beam raising ceremony to mark the completion of the five-level, 160,000sf building’s primary structural frame. The final beam, signed by hundreds of builders and supporters of the project, will span across the fifth floor orientation gallery, which links the lobby to collections galleries, special exhibitions and the connecting bridge to the King Edward Hotel. The ceremony is a long-standing tradition that marks a critical milestone in the construction process. The NMC is on schedule to open in 2016.
