The National Arts Centre
opens its new gates.
An architectural rejuvenation
– 110.5 million dollars –
showcasing Douglas fir wood in
coffered ceilings,
hexagons in limestone floors,
and a glass atrium visible from a
mile.
Also featuring:
80 ladies rooms,
up from 21.
Women have been complaining for
decades,
but had to wait for the
new floor, new ceiling, and the
glorious, one-of-a-kind atrium
before anyone
listened.
