New Royal Alberta Museum

A new Royal Alberta Museum will be built in downtown Edmonton starting this year.  It will be a provincial museum well-equipped for the future – a museum with the room, accessibility, and connections it needs to become an iconic institution respected around the world. The new Royal Alberta Museum will be the identifiable, inviting facility that Albertans want and can be proud to call their own.

The Ledcor Design Build (Alberta) Inc. team of Ledcor Construction, DIALOG Design and Lundholm Associates Architects was named the successful design-build team following evaluation of four proponents shortlisted for the project.  The expert review panel, which included architectural and museum industry professionals, evaluated the proposals based on design, ability to deliver the project, and the best value for the budget.

The new museum is expected to cost a total of $340 million and is projected to open by 2015. Budget 2011 includes $180 million over the first three years for the project.
