Arms2Arts: The Lakeview Legacy Foundation project at the Small Arms Building
The Lakeview Legacy foundation's plans for the Small Arms Building marks a new beginning for the building and the community surrounding it; a future of creativity, employment without industrialization, bringing together sciences, culture, heritage, and arts in a flexible inspirational space.
In the same way the prior uses of this building represented significant technological and social achievement in Canada’s economy, the future use of the building will foster the conditions for success in a creative economy. The creative economy is marked by a new class of intellectual labor that is more collaborative, freethinking and better able to produce intangible products or services while maintaining the wealth of the economy.
