Carleton fourth-year architecture students share their vision for the LeBreton Flats redevelopment as part of a class assignment in 2024.

A towering ferris wheel and a ski hill on top of a hockey arena are a couple of the ideas of Carleton University fourth-year architecture students who let their imagination take them to unusual places in reimagining the long-neglected site. A towering ferris wheel. A circular bridge connecting all the buildings. A ski hill on the roof of a hockey arena.

Professor Jay Lim's fourth-year architecture class completely reimagined the LeBreton Flats redevelopment for a 2024 group project. A decision on the construction of a new downtown arena in LeBreton Flats is still pending after several years of negotiations between the National Capital Commission and the Ottawa Senators hockey team. As a result, concerns have been raised about the final appearance of the area after its redevelopment.

"We felt like this loop or this circle of life as we called it for so long really brought people into the site," Nicell said. "So it takes this almost desolate wasteland that it is now and turns it into something that's lively and interactive."
