The Bermuda Tourism Authority wants to turn the America’s Cup Team Artemis guest pavilion into a Hamilton visitor information centre.

It has applied for planning permission to move the building to a site on Front Street near the junction with Queen Street.

“We will engage industry stakeholders to explain how this new project will showcase Bermuda’s unique way of life and indelible charms, the hallmarks of what sets our country apart from other destinations,” the BTA said.

“As always, our visitor services goal is to provide travellers with the information they’re looking for — and this project will accomplish that. But we also want to surprise and delight them with discoveries they never could have imagined.

“That’s where we’re headed with this new project and we’re proud to be doing it with the help of our friends at the Corporation of Hamilton.”

The building is three-storeys tall with a roof-deck and is decorated with images of Bermuda’s coastline.

Plans for the building include restrooms, an office, storage areas and a balcony overlooking Hamilton Harbour.

The building is designed to easily connect to utilities like electricity and water and its modular design means that it could be easily removed if necessary.

Asked about the cost to purchase the structure and what the new building would mean for the visitor centre in Hamilton’s ferry terminal, a spokesman reiterated that more information about the project would be released in the coming weeks.
