A NEW

VISION

Building Plans and Update

The vision is for a reimagined STLC that is ‘animated’ all day & night and is open and accessible to artists, their audiences, and the broader St. Lawrence neighbourhood. The re-imagined STLC will deliver three important benefits for our community and the City:

1

A cultural ecosystem where renewed cultural spaces, innovative spaces and gathering spaces will anchor the STLC as a cultural and civic hub along the important Front Street cultural corridor.

2

Affordable access to state-of-the-art multi-purpose spaces for the performing arts sector, the local neighbourhood, and all Toronto communities.

3

State of the art cultural capacity and technology to support the next generation of creatives and generate economic activity to Toronto.

HOW IT ALL

FITS TOGETHER

EXTREME FLEXIBILITY

Multiple uses. Multiple audiences.

A highly innovative system of seating arrangements will give the new main hall at the STLC several different options for performance spaces. From traditional layouts to open general admission settings, the experience will be magical. The hall will be able to host a full range of artists, performances, and events in ever-changing beautiful environments.

RADICAL OPENNESS

A Welcoming Urban Living Room

The new STLC was specifically designed to be welcoming to all with facilities available around the clock. The building will be a multi-use public facility that fills the current gaps in the live-arts ecosystem for a full range of communities in Toronto.

THE CITY'S NEW

CULTURAL DISTRICT

A Vital Neighbourhood

Located at the heart of a new arts district stretching from Union Station to the Distillery District, the STLC will anchor a vital neighbourhood in Toronto’s downtown. Linked by a new bridge to Meridian Hall, a new outdoor plaza on Scott Street will invite visitors and locals to enjoy an oasis of green.

FUTURE FACING

A future facing building for a decarbonized world to meet the City's TransformTO objectives.
