MONTREAL — The federal government has announced $1.2 million in funding towards the renovation of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) on Baile Street in Montreal.
The CCA, founded in 1979, is one of the largest Canadian museums dedicated to architecture, said a recent statement. It has a mission to “increase public awareness of the role of architecture in contemporary society and promote research in the field,” noted the release.
The organization plans to replace the building’s roofs and fire protection system and upgrade storage areas.
The funding will be provided through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund.
“This important funding from Canadian Heritage during our 40th anniversary year will allow us to continue to modernize the CCA’s physical building in Montreal, as we work to expand our offerings online as well as internationally,” said Mirko Zardini, the CCA’s director, in the statement.
