carnivalcentreThe National Carnival and Entertainment Centre (NCEC), is a state-of-the-art, locally designed cultural centre, which will be the setting for the vast array of celebrations that are the highlights of our diverse national cultural calendar.

The NCEC will seamlessly melt into the Queen's Park Savannah, since it will preserve the current recreational use of the area whilst simultaneously catering to the needs of the modern and future users of the facility.  In order to ensure that the requirements of stakeholders are accommodated in the design, discussions were held with various groups involved in the performing arts and other cultural activities, resulting in an environmentally and culturally sensitive design approach.

Some of the other significant benefits of the new state of the art NCEC will include:

  • Seating for 15,000 - 18,000;

Restoration of the Mille Fleurs Estate

millefleursThe Mille Fleurs Estate was originally built in 1904 and is one of the nation's oldest and most historic homes.  It is commonly known as one of the "Magnificent Seven" buildings located around the Queen's Park Savannah in Port of Spain i.e. one of seven historical structures of significant cultural relevance.

The refurbishment of the Mille Fleurs Estate, which is being overseen by a team of specialists in restoration architecture, involves the restoration of the external structures of this historical gem to its original magnificence.  Visitors to the Estate will be transported back to the era of the early 1900's, since the building will be internally outfitted as a "Period Building" and will maintain the Estate's historical and architectural integrity.

However, to accommodate the needs of its contemporary clientele, a new annex will also be constructed at the rear of the property, which will include office space, a library, public café and a gift shop.

Other upgrades planned for this project include:

  • Emergency stabilization works to prevent further deterioration of the structure;

  • Replacement of the roof as well as damaged timber roof rafters and internal structural members;

  • Restoration of doors, windows and flooring;

  • Demolition of the out-building originally used for stables together with several smaller concrete structures used for storage and emergency electrical supply;

  • Construction of the building annex to house a library and offices; and

  • Restoration and improvements to site fencing, landscaping and drainage

The restoration of the Mille Fleurs Estate is scheduled to be completed by late 2008.
