Congratulations to +VG Architects on the adaptive reuse and heritage restoration of the Niagara Parks Power Station.

Congratulations to our clients +VG Architects and to The Niagara Parks Commission on the opening of The Tunnel, Niagara Park's newest attraction! The Tunnel's completion is the final stage in the adaptive reuse of the Niagara Parks Power Station, into an educational and entertainment destination that brings the magic of electricity and its history alive. Plus VG Architects was the project's Architect of Record and contract administrator.

Constructed between 1901 and 1905, the NPPS occupies a unique position in the history of the electrical and industrial revolutions, for it is here that George Westinghouse and his business partner Nikola Tesla used their generators and alternating current (AC) to supply electricity on an unprecedented scale.

We are grateful to our strategic partner, David Lasker for inviting Oomph to joint venture on the PR campaign for the architectural project, providing global pitch strategy, media kit content development and media relations.
