Ontario’s Place des Arts Unites Seven Organizations in One Cultural and Civic Center
The new facility’s glass and metal façade showcases Alumicor’s high-performance curtainwall and balances transparency, daylight and comfort with a blend of modern and historical style
Honored with a 2023 Global Future Design Awards’ gold winner for cultural architecture, La Place des Arts du Grand Sudbury also celebrated its one-year anniversary of serving as Northern Ontario’s first multi-disciplinary art center focused on French-Canadian culture and community empowerment.
Helping define the PdA’s award-winning appearance and purposeful presence, Alumicor provided the building enclosure’s custom, aluminum-framed, high-performance glazing systems. Alumicor’s ThermaWall 2600 curtainwall and FlushGlaze BF 3400 storefront were paired with complementary fixed windows. For the PdA’s entrances, vestibules and terrace balconies, Alumicor supplied its ThermaPorte T400A swing doors and TerraPorte 7600 terrace doors.
