THUNDER BAY, Ont.
A consortium that includes Bird Design-Build Construction Inc. has broken ground on the new Thunder Bay consolidated courthouse.
The new multi-storey building, which will be located between Brodie and Archibald streets in the city’s downtown south core, will have space to accommodate 15 courtrooms and four conference/settlement suites.
Included will be Ontario’s first aboriginal conference settlement suite.
The design, build, finance, maintain project is being undertaken by the Plenary Justice consortium, which includes Adamson Associates Architects/Ricci Greene Associates.
LEED Silver is being targeted. The building will feature barrier-free design.
Infrastructure Ontario said the project will provide a boost to the regional economy by creating and supporting hundreds of jobs. At the peak of construction, it is estimated that 225 workers will be on site daily.
Construction of the new courthouse is expected to be completed in autumn 2013. Infrastructure Ontario is working with the Ministry of the Attorney General to develop the new courthouse.
