The Prince Rupert Port Authority Interpretive Centre provides a glimpse into the impact of Port development on the Prince Rupert area |
Visitors to the Atlin Centre's Prince Rupert Port Authority Interpretive Centre could see a whole new look to the popular attraction in the future, that as the PRPA puts forward a Request for Proposals for a Redesign of the Centre on the city's CowBay area waterfront.
The Interpretive Centre makes for one of the most popular stops in the city for both residents and visitors, sharing space with Tourism Prince Rupert's Visitors Centre, while providing for the window into the Port's world and how it serves the region and builds the economy.
The RFP which was posted on Wednesday to the BC Bid website, outlines the scope of the work ahead as part of Phase One, which is the design phase for the ambitious plans ahead:
As Phase One of a larger project, the scope of this phase is limited to the preparation of a concept design and once approved, preparation of detailed construction/fabrication drawings and technical specifications.
The delivery of a complete set of drawings and technical specification for use to tender work for construction services for the PIC Redesign is required. The design and documents must reflect PRPA’s new brand, identity, and core values.
The space should be successful in conveying the following key messages to visitors:
a) The Port’s terminals, operations and flow of global trade through the Port of Prince Rupert, preferably in ways that emphasize the demonstration and interactive exploration of multiple real-time connections and transportation modes
b) The Port’s future development vision
c) The economic impact of the Port industry, including occupations and careers
d) PRPA’s sustainability initiatives and environmental performance
e) PRPA’s commitment to the local community, including community investments and engagement programs.
In addition, the space should have the ability and flexibility to support current communication campaigns, new project information, and explore global issues with local relevance.The timeline towards providing for the blue print of sorts for future redevelopment of the Interpretive Centre looks as follows:
