The Boat School at the Maritime Museum
FY 2024-25 · 2025-03-13
Summary
Located at 1675 Lower Water Street, the Boat School at the Maritime Museum will provide youth-empowering boatbuilding workshops and other programs for kids at risk from marginalized communities. The project will involve the construction of the Boat School building itself, along with its marine substructure and associated access ramps and floats. Uniquely built over the harbour, the building will be exposed to possible flooding and hurricanes and will therefore consider important climate resiliency and energy efficiency elements in its design and construction.

Description (French)
Située au 1675, rue Lower Water, l'École de navigation au Musée maritime de l'Atlantique proposera des ateliers de construction de bateaux et d'autres programmes pour les jeunes à risques issus de communautés marginalisées. Le projet comprendra la construction du bâtiment de l'École de navigation lui-même, ainsi que sa sous-structure marine et les rampes d'accès et flotteurs associés. Construit de manière unique au-dessus du port, le bâtiment sera exposé à d'éventuelles inondations et ouragans et prendra donc en compte d'importants éléments de résilience climatique et d'efficacité énergétique dans sa conception et sa construction.
