THUNDER BAY — Construction of the Thunder Bay Art Gallery continues, but some changes might be needed as the cost of building it continues to rise.
"We're at a point now where we're considering and having to make hard decisions about the overall design and operations of the building. As a group, we're looking at compromises and flexibilities, and some of the value-engineering processes that come out of the construction management model are being examined.
The roof was recently installed on the building's frame, which now gives a better silhouette of the final product. Hills is excited to have more room to store and grow its collection and to have more space for programming.
