An unexpected turn of events for plans to convert the former Canada Marine Discovery Centre at Pier 8 into a library: not a single Hamilton-based architecture firm is bidding on the tender to lead the project design and development study.
CGS/Curran Gacesa Slote Architects Inc., DPAI Architecture Inc., Invizij Architects Inc., McCallum Sather Architects Inc., and Toms+McNally Design Inc. reviewed the bid documents, but none bid.
In total, 17 firms expressed interest in the project, but only five submitted a bid. Two bids have been disqualified, and the remaining three are being reviewed.
As these things go, no future details are available.
I’m going to keep an eye on the project.
