In 1981, Cabinet approved the transfer of the existing Museum to a new building to be constructed to meet its needs. In 1983, the Trudeau government decided that Parc Laurier in Gatineau would be the location of the new facility. Later that year, following Cabinet's approval of the design, site excavation began. Construction was underway in 1984.
