Massey Hall recently underwent the most significant renovation in its 125-year history. The Revitalization protects and celebrates the building’s heritage and creates a lasting legacy for artists and fans. After a comprehensive, years-long restoration, Toronto’s legendary Massey Hall now houses performers and fans alike.
The project restored and renewed both the interior and exterior of this National Historic Site, improved patron amenities and accessibility, opened two new music venues, and saw the return of the original, 125 year-old stained glass windows. The revitalization project involved rebuilding the iconic music venue’s stage, the addition of a new nine-storey tower and improvements to the old bathrooms.
Overseeing the careful restoration and renovation was Toronto’s KPMB Architects.
Walters was proud to be a part of restoring this heritage landmark.

Being a heritage restoration, weaving heavy steel through the existing building needed to be carefully and creatively executed. In addition, there was no storage on site, so it was a challenge managing logistics and ensuring the necessary pieces were delivered in a timely manner.
