BRAMPTON, ONT. — The Ontario government has announced the completion of the Brampton courthouse expansion project.
The government’s $117 million investment includes six additional floors with 18 additional hearing rooms; 13 courtrooms; three settlement conference spaces and two pre-trial rooms for the Superior Court of Justice and Ontario Court of Justice; upgraded security features, including courtrooms built for trials involving multiple accused people and remote testimony spaces; and improved accessibility spaces such as barrier-free witness stands and specialized seating for jury members.
The courthouse also features enhanced technology to support more virtual hearings and has increased the hearing room capacity by 35 per cent.
The first phase of the project, completed in 2020, was awarded LEED Silver. The Brampton courthouse project also includes a renovation of the neighbouring Land Registry building.
