The Bayview Workshops

The Bayview Workshops The Bayview Workshops - Overview 7 Bayview Road is a disused City of Ottawa Public Works building, formerly known as The Ottawa Workshops.

The City of Ottawa owns 7 Bayview Road and several nearby buildings, part of a 50 acre/20 hectare site known as the Bayview Yards.

7 Bayview Road has the potential to be a very successful adaptive re-use project while also serving as a catalyst for further local development tied to the planned public transit hub nearby (Bayview LRT Station). The refurbished building could house cultural/arts org

anizations and arts-related uses to serve the communities of Hintonburg, Mechanicsville and Ottawa at large by providing much needed production and performance spaces, and possible live/work units, at affordable rates, much like the Wychwood Barns in Toronto. This page was created to support the ongoing community-based process to transform 7 Bayview into a revitalized cultural space, aka The Bayview Workshops. The process was initiated by Annie Hillis, Executive Director of Wellington West BIA, in association with the Hintonburg Community Association and the Neighbourhood Planning Initiative for Hintonburg/Mechanicsville, Continuity Task Force. A preliminary feasibility study was commissioned by Creative Neighbourhoods and Strata Planning, a group of McGIll University School of Urban Planning graduate students in the Fall of 2011. That study, which included community consultation and a design charette, was presented to the City of Ottawa's Planning Committee in March 2012 to raise awareness of the adaptive reuse potential of 7 Bayview, and to affirm the local community's high degree of commitment to the renovation and renewal of the Bayview Workshops' facility and heritage.
