Halifax Forum

A cornerstone of Halifax’s civic and sporting life since 1926, the Halifax Forum is a rare surviving example of early 20th-century public architecture. With accumulated alterations and structural wear threatening its heritage value, INTRA Studio worked with partners to assess existing conditions and define key character-defining elements. By conducting extensive condition assessments and heritage impact analysis, INTRA Studio’s conservation approach integrated heritage-sensitive upgrades with new community programming needs, guiding the design of interventions that respect original materials and design intent while ensuring the Forum remains a flexible and resilient civic space.
