The complex will feature a 60,000-square-foot museum to showcase Mr. Mirvish’s vast collection ofabstract art, including works by Frank Stella, David Smith, Morris Louis and Helen Frankenthaler. There willalso be space for the public learning center of OCAD University, including galleries, studios, seminar roomsand a lecture hall. The project is expected to take four to seven years to construct.

Mr. Gehry, who is from Toronto, has worked there before; he renovated the Art Gallery of Ontario, whichreopened in 2008.

“It is very special for me to be able to work in Toronto, where I was born, and to engage the neighborhoodswhere I grew up,” Mr. Gehry said.
