History

In 2007, a public-private partnership was formed to fund the project. Both the federal and provincial governments contributed $35 million each, and the remaining one-third commitment came from private investors.[2] The Regional Municipality of Niagara provided the lease of land on which the facility was built for a nominal fee of $1 per year.[3][4]

Construction on the two-storey building began on May 1, 2009.[5] The halfway point of construction was marked by a ceremony on April 30, 2010.[6]
