WINNIPEG — Assiniboine Park is temporarily closing its Pavilion to the public while the building undergoes a makeover beginning Feb. 1.
Over the next several months the third floor gallery will be completely renovated and restored. The building will also get new roofing, upgraded mechanical systems and insulation.
“The Pavilion is a treasured, iconic building in Winnipeg and these upgrades will ensure that it can continue to serve its role in Assiniboine Park for many years to come,” Don Peterkin, COO of the Assiniboine Park Conservancy said in a media release.
“By closing the galleries to the public, it will allow us to complete the renovations within a few months and have the building re-opened in time for the busy summer season.”
Renovations are expected to be complete in late spring, when there will be a grand re-opening.
During renovations, the visitor services area and rest rooms on the main floor will remain open for public use.
