Every year, the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) teams up with MPPs across the province to nominate structures for World Architect’s Day. An art facility in Sudbury was among nine buildings across the province being recognized for its design this year.

From wood used to rebuild after the Chicago fire to bricks from the first francophone school in the north, it’s the small details of Place des Arts that make it so unique.

“It’s a beautiful building, Place des Arts is a gem in Sudbury. Its something that we’re all very proud of as Sudburians,” said Sudbury MPP Jamie West.

West nominated the first multi-disciplinary art facility of its kind in the north for the annual Queen’s Park picks.
