Funded by private philanthropy, OpenROM will create space for greater numbers of visitors while building a thriving cultural and civic hub in the heart of the city. Once complete, the reimagined main floor will feature a soaring atrium, more gallery space, and year-round programming and live performances.</p><p>Renowned Canadian firm Hariri Pontarini Architects leads the design of this landmark revitalization project, which includes a newly designed Bloor Street entrance featuring a floor-to-ceiling glass entryway with direct sightlines into and out of the building. Inside, a bright and spacious foyer will be filled with artworks, objects, and specimens. The Hennick Commons, a new four-storey sunlit atrium topped with a high-performance diagrid glass ceiling and featuring a 2,400 square foot forum, will create space for visitors to gather and enjoy performances and programming.</p><p>A stunning multi-level lily pad staircase, adjacent to the forum, will offer three accessible overlook platforms, knitting together old and new wings to improve movement throughout the building. Additionally, there will be 6,000 feet of new gallery space on the second and third levels, allowing visitors to experience more of ROMâs world-class collections.</p><p>OpenROM has been catalyzed by a visionary $50-million donation from the Hennick Family Foundation.</p> 3122 </div> 3123 </div> 3124 </div> 3125</div> 3126 3127</div> 3128 <div class="paragraph--rich_content item-with-anchor field__item" id="rich_content-8192"> 3129 3130 3131<section data-component-id="rom:two-columns-wrapper" class="two-columns-wrapper"> 3132 <div class="container flex flex-col md:grid grid-cols-3 gap-10 md:gap-2.5"> 3133 <div class="two-columns-wrapper--left-col flex flex-col gap-y-5 md:pr-12"> 3134 <h2 class="h3 [&:has(.visually-hidden)]:sr-only"> 3135 <div class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">The Welcome Project</div> 3136 </h2> 3137 <div class="body-regular"> 3138 3139 </div> 3140 </div> 3141 <div class="two-columns-wrapper--body md:col-span-2 text-sm md:text-base rich-text"> 3142 <div data-component-id="rom:rich-content" class="rich-content"> 3143 <div class="rich-text field field--name-field-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p>On August 21, 2019 ROM opened the <strong>Helga and Mike Schmidt Performance Terrace</strong> and the <strong>Reed Family Plaza</strong> to the public, providing visitors with a new way to enjoy ROM. The new terrace and plaza on Bloor Street offers a welcoming outdoor place to gather and relax with garden-side seating and an open-air space for music, theatre, discussion, and performances.</p><p>The opening of the Helga and Mike Schmidt Performance Terrace and the Reed Family Plaza marks the third and final phase of the ROMâs Welcome Project. In December 2017, ROM completed the first stage of the project with the restoration of the Museumâs landmark Queenâs Park façade and the reopening of the Weston Entrance on Queenâs Park. The next phase was completed in April 2018, providing visitors with free public access to the ROMâs Daphne Cockwell Gallery dedicated to First Peoples art & culture.</p><p>With this new project, designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the Bloor Street exterior has been reimagined and transformed into 13,595 square feet of outdoor public space, anchored by Philosopher's Walk, the Crystal, and the ROM's heritage stone façade. The green space, featuring a seasonal palate of native, perennial plant species that reflect the ROMâs biodiversity mandate, offers an oasis from the hustle and bustle of Bloor Street. The Welcome Project builds on the Museumâs vision to open the doors of the Museum wider while providing new ways for the ROM to participate in the urban life of the City and deepen the connection with our community.</p><p>This initiative is generously supported by Helga Schmidt and her late husband Mike Schmidt, and Nita and Don Reed.

He has designed buildings around the world, including the Jewish Museum in Berlin, the Danish Jewish Museum in Copenhagen and the Imperial War Museum North in Manchester.</p><p><strong>Napkin</strong></p> <article class="align-right media media--type-image media--view-mode-square w-fit"> 3402 3403 3404 3405 <picture> 3406 <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/fixed_width_1x_385xauto/public/imce/napkin.jpg.webp?itok=dEmJ5p4S 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/fixed_width_2x_770xauto/public/imce/napkin.jpg.webp?itok=eJgupBJ9 2x" media="all and (min-width: 0px)" type="image/webp" width="180" height="160"> 3407 <img loading="lazy" width="180" height="160" src="/sites/default/files/imce/napkin.jpg" alt="Sketch of the Royal Ontario Museum building with angular, modern architectural lines and small human figures in front." title="Concept Sketch of the ROM. 3408"> 3409 3410 </picture> 3411 3412 3413 3414</article><p>Inspired by the ROMâs gem and mineral collection, architect Daniel Libeskind sketched the initial concept on paper napkins while attending a family wedding at the ROM. The design was quickly dubbed the 'crystal' because of its crystalline shape.</p><p><strong>Structure</strong></p><p>The Lee-Chin Crystal is part of Renaissance ROM, the Museum's renovation and expansion project. Considered to be one of the most challenging construction projects in North America for its engineering complexity and innovative methods, the Lee-Chin Crystal is composed of five interlocking, self-supporting prismatic structures that co-exist but are not attached to the original ROM building, except for the bridges that link them.</p><p><strong>Nuts and Bolts</strong></p><p>The exterior is 25% glass and 75% extruded-brushed, aluminum-cladding strips in a warm silver colour. The steel beams, each unique in its design and manufacture and ranging from 1 to 25 metres in length, were lifted one by one to their specific angle, creating complicated angle joints, sloped walls, and gallery ceilings. Approximately 3,500 tons of steel and 38 tons of bolts were used to create the skeleton, and roughly 9,000 cubic metres of concrete were poured.</p><p><strong>Opening Celebrations</strong></p><p>
3414It was a street party that Toronto will remember for years to come, and the perfect kickoff to the summer of 2007! On Saturday, June 2, the ROM, along with Their Excellencies The Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor-General of Canada and Mr. Jean-Daniel Lafond, officially opened the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal and marked the beginning of the Crystal Age for the ROM.</p><p>Luminaries, special guests and the excited crowd packed ROM Plaza, surrounding three concert stages set at the base of the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal. The evening began with a greeting by ROM Director and CEO William Thorsell. Revellers were then treated to an amazing 75-minute concert entitled <em>A World of Possibilities</em>, hosted by Paul Gross.</p><p>Kicking off the show was an energy-filled performance by Leahy and fiddler Natalie MacMaster, followed by Canadian Idol Eva Avila, Juno award-winning rap artist Kânaan, Broadway star and R&B singer Deborah Cox and many more. Grammy-winning artist and composer David Foster unveiled a song he wrote especially for the evening, entitled <em>We Can Build Anything</em>. Audiences cheered as the song was performed by Canadian singer-songwriter Jann Arden, accompanied by a Canadian youth choir. The concert culminated in a dramatic lightshow that bathed the Lee-Chin Crystal in a spectrum of vibrant colours, against the backdrop of the Toronto skyline in the distance.</p></div> 3415 </div> 3416 </div> 3417 </div> 3418</section> 3419</div> 3420 <div class="paragraph--quote item-with-anchor field__item" id="quote-8197"> 3421 3422<div class="rom-quote container"> 3423 <div class="flex flex-col lg:flex-row lg:justify-end border-t border-t-black gap-x-64 lg:justify-between gap-y-5 pt-2.5 "> 3424 <div class="rom-quote__content leading-105p text-4lg lg:text-xl lg:leading-105p font-medium"> 3425 <q>Why should one expect the new addition to the ROM to be 'business as usual'?

People of some position and influence, they championed the cause and persuaded both the Government of Ontario and the University of Toronto to fund the future museum.</p><p>The Royal Ontario Museum was formally created by the signing of the <em>ROM Act</em> in the Ontario Legislature on April 16, 1912. When the Duke of Connaught, then Governor-General of Canada, opened the new building to the public at 3:00 pm on March 19, 1914, it instantly became an object of pride for Toronto.</p><p>Today, the graceful structure of buff-coloured brick and terracotta, designed by Toronto-based architects Darling and Pearson, is the west wing of the ROMâs ensemble of buildings. Flanking Philosophersâ Walk, with its main entrance on Bloor Street West, this historic building originally housed five separate museums: the Royal Ontario Museums of Archaeology, Palaeontology, Mineralogy, Zoology, and Geology.</p><p>The intervening years brought several expansions. By the late 1920s, collections and staff were competing for space and the crowding had become intolerable. The first addition took place during the Great Depression and an effort was made to use mostly local building materials. Excavation was done by hand, using picks, shovels, and horse-drawn wagons. On October 12, 1933, Toronto newspapers reported that a newly opened wing facing Queenâs Park was a âmasterpiece of architectureâ.</p><p>In 1955, the five museums were reorganized as a single body and in 1968, the ROM was formally divi
3543ded from the University of Toronto and became a separate entity under the provincial government.</p><p>A $55 million renovation was begun in 1978, intended to provide for the greatly extended research and collection activities and included a new curatorial centre, a new library and other facilities. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth officially opened the new exhibition and gallery space, the Terrace Galleries, in a 1984 ceremony.</p><p>On June 3, 2007, the ROM opened the <strong>Michael Lee-Chin Crystal</strong>, a distinctive new symbol of Toronto for the 21st century. The Lee-Chin Crystal marks the beginning of a new age for the ROM, announcing the Museum as the countryâs premier cultural and social destination.</p> 3544</html></div> 3545 </div> 3546 </div> 3547
