Plazas: The Great Gathering
The Culture + Entertainment District is built to bring people together for the sheer pleasure of sharing an event, a moment, a place. Plazas are a natural focus and crowd-pleaser; they’re open, welcoming, and there’s always something going on we can’t resist. Adding to the numerous plazas already in The C+E, Scotia Place will add another three outdoor plazas on the north, south and west sides of the block, and one indoor community plaza directly inside the southwest entry and is designed as an extension to the south outdoor plaza.
Like the best living rooms and centrepieces, it’ll have art to admire and interact with, room to sit, stand and socialize, and a vibe that makes you feel like you’re part of something wonderful.
