Now in the Validation Phase, the project is being developed in close collaboration with the City of Kamloops and a skilled team of IPD Partners. Construction is targeted to begin in Fall 2025 with completion anticipated in 2029.

“The Integrated Project Delivery model allows us to collaborate early, solve challenges together, and deliver better outcomes,” said Scott Benoit, Director, Project Development, Clark Builders. “It's exciting to work alongside such a dedicated team on a project that will have a lasting impact on the city’s cultural and economic future.”
