At a Sept. 20 press conference, before her recent leadership win, Progressive Conservative Premier-designate Alison Redford said she has questions about the province’s six-week competition to build the $340-million Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton.
“I have some concerns about the design process in the Royal Alberta Museum, I think it’s an important institution, but there seem to be a lot of questions in Edmonton in terms of what the timing has been, in terms of what the design process looks like,” she said Tuesday. “But I think it’s an important project and it needs to be in Edmonton.”
Three weeks ago, the province announced Ledcor Group and Dialog Designs, with Toronto-based Lundholm Associates Architects, won the design competition, which first launched in April.
