Greater Sudbury’s city hall building has been recommended by municipal staff to become the new home for a long-proposed central library/art gallery project.
“This presents an opportunity to better utilize space that is already owned and available in the city’s hands,” Wood said, noting that various provincial offices at 199 Larch have closed during the pandemic, which has left enough vacant space to accommodate municipal operations. For a new build, the requested budget reduction of 34 per cent would require a space reduction of approximately 52 per cent, which Wood said the partner organizations believe would make them unable to achieve their collective vision.
The building’s current design “lends itself to library use,” Wood’s presentation notes, with certain features, including the courtyard and second-floor terraces and atrium, adding character. Regardless of whether the library project proceeds, Wood noted that various capital upgrades will be required at Tom Davies Square in the next 10 to 15 years.
