More Information

As part of the early design for The Forks Market Plaza, this small building was intended to be a family area to put on skates, warm up by the large stone fireplace and have a snack and something to drink. The west wall that opens onto The Forks Plaza is made entirely of turquoise tinted glass, while the centre portion and east end are faced with Tyndall limestone. A pyramidal roof over the centre portion pulls the sections together and repeats the form and colour of The Forks Market Tower opposite. The Pavilion is now called Agowiidiwinan Centre, which is a place of learning offering a balanced understanding of the treaties between the First Nations people, their laws, culture, and customs.
