The temporary movement of *some* of the Ontario Science Centre to Harbourfront Centre, while unfortunate, could help the Centre improve its finances and revitalize the facility.

Harbourfront skating makes its return this winter with help from City Hall
If you build it they will come. Then if you tear it down, they’ll complain until you build it again. That seems to be the tale of the Harbourfront’s iconic skating rink, which is slated to return this winter after it was unceremoniously scrapped in favour of a plaza that some dismayed residents...

I have fond memories of walking through the building with my parents in the 80's that hosted the artist studios - you would walk on a mezzanine and be able to look down into the workshops as the artists toiled away.

Lets elaborate a bit:
Enter stage right: Shaw Festival to bring productions to Toronto's Harbourfront Centre
The Shaw Festival is hopping across the pond — just not the one you might be thinking of. The theatre festival based in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., will take up a three-year artistic residency at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre next year, marking Shaw’s first entry into the busy theatre scene on...

The Shaw is taking up a 3 year artist-in-residence role at Harbourfront Centre while the Royal George undergoes reconstruction in Niagara-On-The-Lake.
It will likely mount about 1/3 of its annual productions here, with the remainder in Niagara the Shaw's other venues.

This, combined with the previous Ontario Science Centre announcement, will hopefully help Harbourfront find their financial footing.
Harbourfront Centre told to find new income sources
A federal review of Harbourfront Centre operations over the past five years concludes the agency needs to come up with its own plan to increase funding, starting now.

I’ve been hearing all these good things about Harbourfront and connecting them in my mind to the new CEO that started last year, only to find out that she’s leaving.
