Prince Arthur’s Landing incorporates buildings, landscapes, park elements and public art designed holistically to express the deep cultural roots of the Thunder Bay waterfront and acknowledge the ten thousand year history of settlement on this site.
Brook McIlroy were tasked with implementing a master plan they created in 2006 which was to take an existing underutilized park and turn it into a mixed use, year round destination. The scope included architecture and landscape architecture as well as public art coordination and collaboration.
The buildings and landscape were conceived in concert with an ambitious public art program. Key buildings including the Water Garden Pavilion and the Baggage Building Arts Centre, both LEED Gold certified, create important year round destinations for recreation, culture and the arts. A café/restaurant, splash pad/skating rink, skateboard park, trails, Aboriginal gardens, public art installations and outdoor amphitheatre support yearround public activities. Since opening, the site has seen 5 times the number of users (100,000 annually) and 9 new local businesses.
Ultimately what the project hopes to achieve is – that a city – if designed with empathy and creativity – has the potential to capture the genius loci of a landscape and its confluence with the stories of its people in a manner that can be both affirmative and transformative.
