Brampton A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse Expansion | ?m | 6s | Infrastructure Ontar | NORR

[TOareaFan]

The province has announced a 6 storey addition to the existing 6 storey courthouse.

Not totally clear if it is 6s up (sorta suggested it is) or an attached 6s (IYKWIM).

Anyway, one to watch.

This is a pretty new building in itself isn't it?

Opened 15 years or so ago.....I think.

This is desperately needed. Thankfully it's moving along at a good pace for this sort of project.

The Brampton courthouse is ghastly when seen from the parking lot. The sea of surface parking is just sad. Courthouses should exude dignity and beauty. They should make people feel welcome and confident in the justice system.

This landscaped forecourt will make for a better entrance than the former drop-off driveway zone that was previously located here:

It's still fenced off, though...
