Public Consultation
Rank Inc. launched Build Your Centre, a public engagement process, in July 2012 to discover our community’s visions and principles for the look and feel of the Nova Centre, which will be home to HRM's new convention centre.
New building renderings shown below were presented in downtown Halifax on October 3, 2012, and reflect input from the engagement process. In December the final design will be presented. There are many ways to engage face to face or online.
Join the conversation and help build your centre.
Project Milestones
July 12, 2012
Rank Inc. CEO Joe Ramia announced his intention to proceed with the Nova Centre project, beginning with a wide-ranging public consultation in HRM and across the province that will help inform the look and feel, streetscape and public spaces for the Nova Centre. At that time the developer indicated an intention to begin excavation on site in August so that site preparation work can be done concurrent with the public consultation.

Regional Council gave its final approval to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Province of Nova Scotia that outlines the construction, operational and financial agreements surrounding the new downtown convention centre.
