The firm most recently led the design for the renewal of the Stanley A. Milner Library in Edmonton, which saw an aging 1960s concrete facility transformed into a bold and welcoming central library and community hub.</p> <p>Two Row Architect brings an invaluable Indigenous perspective, and Yallowega Architecture offers local insight and representation. Together, the core consulting team offers a long history of successful collaboration.</p> <p>City Council approved plans for the development of the cultural hub in November 2023. The project will involve retrofitting both 200 Brady St. and 199 Larch St. to include a new Central Library, the Art Gallery of Sudbury and the Sudbury Multicultural and Folk Arts Association.</p> <p>The project will provide residents with a variety of services in one convenient centralized location, and supports the City’s commitment to accessibility, environmental sustainability, multiculturalism, social inclusion and culture.</p> <p>As next steps, the design team will join staff for a presentation to Council later this spring, followed by the start of the schematic design. Public consultation will be incorporated into various stages of the project. Construction is expected to begin in mid-2025.</p> <p>For more information about the Cultural Hub and other Large Projects, visit <a href="http://www.greatersudbury.ca/largeprojects">www.greatersudbury.ca/largeprojects</a> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height: 40px;" data-name="accParent">City Council Meeting Wrap-Up: January 16, 2024</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height: 40px;" data-name="accChild"><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.greatersudbury.ca/city-hall/news-and-public-notices/2024/city-council-meeting-wrap-up-january-16-2024/" target="_blank" aria-label="City Council Meeting Wrap-Up: January 16, 2024 opens in new window">City Council Meeting Wrap-Up: January 16, 2024</a><br>... <p>Additional Direction Regarding the Design of the Cultural Hub at Tom Davies Square</p> <p>Council provided additional direction to staff regarding design features of the planned Cultural Hub at Tom Davies Square.

This will involve retrofitting both 200 Brady St. and 199 Larch St. to include a new Central Library, the Art Gallery of Sudbury and the Sudbury Multicultural and Folk Arts Association.</p> <p>The project will provide residents with a variety of services in one convenient centralized location, and supports the City’s commitment to accessibility, environmental sustainability, multiculturalism, social inclusion and culture.</p> <p>To make room for these new services at Tom Davies Square, a Municipal Services Relocation project will move some municipal services from 200 Brady St. to the provincial tower at 199 Larch St. This is made possible by post-pandemic changes to the Province’s business operations, which has made a significant amount of space available within 199 Larch St.</p> <p>The new direction for the project stems from a Council resolution in February 2023, where Council directed staff to explore alternatives for the Junction East project, in order to balance the achievement of project goals with the economic realities faced by the municipality. Through this analysis, a retrofit of Tom Davies Square emerged as the best cost-effective alternative for the project. This allows the City to consider the cost savings for additional capital projects to further enhance quality of life for residents.</p> <p>Creating a Cultural Hub at Tom Davies Square provides several benefits including enhancing the number of services for residents in one location, making use of existing municipal assets and realizing operating cost savings compared to building a new facility.</p> <p>Transforming the existing City Hall facility serves as a catalyst for further downtown revitalization by establishing an accessible, inviting, contemporary, people-oriented space for connecting residents to each other as well as to art, information and technology. It also contributes to municipal economic development and tourism goals.</p> <p>Council approved amended resolutions, changing the total project budget from $68.8 million to $65 million. This includes up to $37 million in municipal funding, with funds provided by debt already secured for this project. If funding from Cultural Hub partners and/or external funding sources is less than anticipated, Council approved the provision of additional municipal funds up to the approved budget amount, using funds from the previously secured debt for this project, to an upset limit of $64.5 million.</p> <p>Staff will now work on issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the design of the new Cultural Hub and Municipal Services Relocation projects. It is expected that the RFP will be awarded in early 2024 and schematic design work will begin in Q2 2024. The design for the renovated facility will continue to follow and build upon the vision and themes identified during the Junction East community engagement process in 2021.</p> <p>For full details, read the <span class="Underline"><a title="Open new window to view November 28 Report to Council" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://pub-greatersudbury.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=51756" target="_blank" aria-label="November 28 Report to Council opens in new window">November 28 Report to Council</a></span>.

In February, Council directed staff to explore two alternative approaches to fulfill the project’s original goals:</p> <ul> <li>analyze the potential for a redesign of the facility to reflect a total project cost of $65 million, and</li> <li>investigate the possibility of retrofitting existing infrastructure downtown.</li> </ul> <p>A $65 million dollar budget would require a 53 per cent reduction in the original design’s available space. This would make the vision, business and operational plans for the library and art gallery unworkable. As a result, further investigation of constructing a new facility for $65 million will not occur.</p> <p>Staff also investigated the possibility of retrofitting existing downtown facilities and identified 200 Brady St. (Tom Davies Square) as the best alternative location for this initiative. Retrofitting Tom Davies Square represents an opportunity to realize capital cost savings while allowing the cultural hub to meet overall project goals. Council supported staff’s plan to continue exploring this option and to bring recommendations to the September 26 Council meeting.</p> <p>...</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height: 40px;" data-name="accParent"> <p>Mayor Lefebvre Introduces Motion to Reimagine the Junction East Cultural Hub</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="height: 40px;" data-name="accChild"> <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.greatersudbury.ca/city-hall/news-and-public-notices/2023/mayor-lefebvre-introduces-motion-to-reimagine-the-junction-east-cultural-hub/" target="_blank" aria-label="Mayor Lefebvre Introduces Motion to Reimagine the Junction East Cultural Hub opens in new window">Mayor Lefebvre Introduces Motion to Reimagine the Junction East Cultural Hub</a></p> <p>At the Tuesday, February 21 City Council meeting, Greater Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefebvre introduced a motion directing staff to modify the Junction East Cultural Hub.</p> <p>The motion, which was passed unanimously, aims to balance the achievement of the overarching goals of the Junction East project with current economic realities faced by the municipality.</p> <p>“I strongly believe in the vision of the Junction East Cultural Hub project,” said Mayor Lefebvre. “I know that, together with our partners, we can reimagine this project to support the vibrancy of our downtown at a price tag that takes into account the competing investment needs of our municipal infrastructure.”</p> <p>The motion directs staff to bring back analysis and recommendations to further explore two options:<br>- Reconfigure existing high-value infrastructure and community-owned buildings in downtown Sudbury to create effective shared spaces or partnerships that will result in sustainable, efficient operations over the long term; and <br>- Redesign the Junction East Cultural Hub to reflect total project cost of approximately $65 million and continues to reflect the desired outcome of a project that will be an enduring source of community pride. <br>“The information I’ve requested through this motion will allow us to see this important project become a reality using a responsible and innovative approach,” continued Mayor Lefebvre. “I want to thank our project partners for their ongoing collaboration and dedication as we embark on this new phase of the Junction East Cultural Hub.”</p> <p>The report with analysis and recommendation is scheduled to be presented to City Council by the end of June 2023. Work on the current configuration of the Junction East Cultural Hub project will be put on hold as staff works with the project partners, the Greater Sudbury Public Library, the Sudbury Multicultural Folk Arts Association, and the Art Gallery of Sudbury to analyze the alternate approaches that fulfill the project's original goals. The project is currently at Detailed Design, and the contract with the architect allows for a pause in work at this phase.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="fbg-row lmRow ui-sortable" data-lm-customclass=""><div data-lm-columnwidth="12" class="fbg-col-xs-12 column lmColumn ui-sortable" data-lm-customclass=""><div class="ge-content ge-content-type-gridHTML ui-droppable" data-ge-content-type="gridHTML"><div class="fbg-container-fluid lmLayoutComponent" data-lm-id="lm1662578392188" data-lm-componenttype="StandardOneColumn" data-lm-componenttitle=""><div class="fbg-row"><div class="fbg-col-xs-12"><div class="iCreateDynaToken" data-lm-tokenid="StandardOneColumnTK1" data-icrt-tk-cfg="StandardColumnContent" id="StandardOneColumnTK1_lm1662578392188"><h2>Why do we need a New Central Library?</h2> <p>Did you know the Main Library has a makerspace, a local history area, and a homebound service?</p> <p>Watch the videos below to see all the great things we do and find out how a New Central Library will allow us to serve you even better.</p> <h3>A great investment for Greater Sudbury</h3> <p>Greater Sudbury Public Library provides economic, social and health benefits to the community.
