One of the most significant public infrastructure investments in the City Centre is set to be unveiled next week. The Kasian-Moriyama designed City Hall building will be revealed to the public June 29th, with an event planned at 12 noon in the Grand Hall at SFU Surrey.
The new City Hall building, to be constructed along the north edge of City-owned property along 104 Ave between University Drive and City Parkway, will be about 180,000 sq. ft. It will include an adjoining civic plaza with a capacity of 5000 people. Construction will begin in early 2011 and is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2013. Initial plans include connection to the Library to form a district energy system.
It is estimated to cost $50 million, most of which will come from a loan with the Municipal Finance Authority. It is unknown whether the final design is the same L-shaped monolith that has been featured in City documents recently (included above).
