Ottawa Citizen Vanier Hub: From parking lot to vibrant community space
Ottawa Citizen – Gary Dimmock – November 21, 2025
Gary Dimmock explains how Carleton University’s Architecture Action Lab worked tirelessly on giving the site new life.
On Thursday afternoon, in the heart of diversity-rich Vanier, the community came together to launch the reimagined Hub — a vibrant outdoor space coming to life in what was once a parking lot. They celebrated — cotton candy and all — on National Child Day, no less.
