HIP Architects and David Murray Architects have been commissioned by UCAMA to prepare a feasibility study to investigate the relocation of UCAMA to the Lodge Hotel on Jasper Avenue. The aim of the study was to • Analyze the museum space needs and requirements, • Organize and relate them in the most appropriate manner, • Develop alternative 3D architectural concepts for accommodating the museum in the Lodge Hotel, • Prepare a preliminary project cost estimate, • Estimate the preliminary operational cost, • Prepare some revenue generating alternatives, • Prepare a financial analysis of the project, • Prepare a tentative schedule for implementing the project. A number of meetings were arranged to discuss and present ideas to members of the Board and two stakeholder participation workshops were held to ascertain the aims and objectives for the new building. From these discussions a number of key design directions were established for the study. More importantly the emotional and long term aspirations for the facility were identified and the desire to provide a building that acknowledged and celebrated the contribution of Ukrainians to the development of Edmonton.
