As part of the construction happening on site, repairs are underway on the iconic Cinesphere and elevated Pods complex. Work will help prevent further deterioration of these structures, including exterior repairs to the roofs, cladding, windows, cable system and exterior lighting. The Province is preserving the Cinesphere and Pod complex and is working with independent heritage experts and experienced construction managers to help ensure any repairs protect these important features.
To support the repair work, a crane was installed on site in October 2022 to allow work on the elevated Pods to start. Beginning in December 2022, scaffolding was erected on the Cinesphere to replace its outer layer. Repair work commenced on site in March 2022 and will continue until late 2024.
