Phase 1 (Event Centre)

The Lansdowne 2.0 project will revitalize and modernize publicly owned assets at Lansdowne, ensuring it remains a vibrant and sustainable destination for residents and visitors for decades to come. The redevelopment plan includes a new Event Centre, new North Side Stands, public realm enhancements, replacement retail, and a private development of two residential towers.

Preparatory works for the new Event Centre will be commencing in early December. Included below is a detailed overview of the first phase of construction.

To stay up to date on the project, visit the Lansdowne 2.0 project website and sign up for the project newsletter at ottawa.ca/LansdowneRenewal.

What: To prepare for the construction of the new Event Centre, preliminary works will include installation of fencing, mobilization of site trailers and equipment within the construction area, topsoil removal, implementation of a hauling road behind the South Side Stands, and modifications to TD Place to maintain operations during the redevelopment.

Why: Preliminary works will support the construction of the new Event Centre, east of the east endzone, within the Great Lawn.

When: Preparatory activities for Event Centre construction will begin in early December. Further information on project timelines can be found on the project website.

Where: The limits of construction associated with this project are within the Great Lawn. As work begins, fencing and hoarding will safely separate construction zones from public areas to minimize disruption and ensure a safe environment for everyone.

Who: The City of Ottawa has retained the contractor, EBC Inc., to complete the work.

Accessibility

Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. The City makes every effort to provide access through and around construction sites. If you require a disability-related accommodation, please contact the undersigned. Accessible formats and communication supports are available, upon request, at the following link: www.ottawa.ca/accessibleformat.

Traffic impacts

There are currently no planned detours or road closures. Access to the underground garage from Queen Elizabeth Drive, Exhibition Way, and residential access off Holmwood Avenue will remain open. All internal streets will remain open, including Marché Way, Exhibition Way, Princess Patricia Way and Paul Askin Way.

A dedicated hauling road will be established behind the South Side Stands to reduce local traffic impacts within Lansdowne Park. Further information on hauling activities will be made available on the project website.

Construction disruptions

Lansdowne 2.0 will be built with the community in mind, keeping the site safe, active, vibrant and open for business throughout construction. This includes all commercial spaces and residences. Measures will be in place to keep construction activities separate from public spaces as much as possible.

Every precaution will be made to minimize disruptions, and we would like to thank the public in advance for their patience and co-operation. For construction activity hours of work, the City of Ottawa follows provincial requirements and the City’s Noise By-law (2017-255).

Safety

The City of Ottawa is committed to safety in and around project sites. The project team continues to work closely with the industry and to comply with recommendations provided by municipal, provincial and federal health officials, as well as the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development.
