Design input sought for Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship

Potential tenants and members of the new Centre for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship, known as COVE, are being encouraged to contribute to its final design.  COVE is a global centre for ocean innovation and collaboration being developed on the Dartmouth side of Halifax Harbour at the site of the former Canadian Coast Guard Base.  Renovations are now underway at the centre and a request for information was issued today (March 9th) to learn from local, national and international businesses about their design needs for the space, facilities and programming. The request for information closes on April 21st. A formal request for proposals for tenants and members will follow this spring. COVE is scheduled to open in April 2018.
