After months of speculation, it's official: the Ontario Science Centre will be moving to Ontario Place as part of the redevelopment. Toronto Ontario realestatenews OntarioPlace
After days of speculation, Premier Doug Ford, Minister of Infrastructure Kinga Surma, and Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport Neil Lumsden gathered outside Ontario Place to announce the change which will come as part of Ontario Place’s extensive redevelopment.
The 1969-built Science Centre, currently located on Don Mills Road, is in need of costly repairs, Lumsden said, and moving it to Ontario place is the most cost effective way to modernize it.The Centre will take over the existing Cinesphere and Pod complex at Ontario Place, with a new custom-built, state-of-the-art facility going up as well. Upgrades to existing infrastructure will begin as soon as this spring, with construction expected to begin in 2025.
The Province also noted that moving the Science Centre “creates a generational housing opportunity” right outside what will be the future terminus station of the upcoming Ontario Line subway. In a release, the Province said it will “work with the City of Toronto on realizing this new opportunity and hopes to bring more affordable and attainable housing to the neighbourhood.
