Toronto police have a $38.9-million budget to replace the 51,000-square-foot structure, once home to provincial and municipal courts and to Scarborough’s municipal offices, with a new building at 2222 Eglinton Ave. E.
It’s a project Toronto Police Services Board decided on in 1996 after studying the condition of its buildings, Thomas Levesque, senior project manager for Toronto Police Service, said this week.
Construction of a new building was to begin in 2014, but it didn’t. Work is scheduled to start, however, in January 2021 and to finish by September 2023.
The existing structure at the corner of Birchmount Road served as Scarborough’s municipal building, which included the mayor’s office, before the Scarborough Civic Centre opened in 1973.
It has been used exclusively by the police since 1978.
The building has gone through a number of renovations and hasn’t aged well.
