About the Project:

Brampton Courthouse Addition (BCA)

The A. Grenville and William Davis Courthouse in Brampton is the busiest courthouse in the province. To address the current and growing courtroom pressure, a two-phase project to build an addition to the existing courthouse building was approved in 2016-17. Phase 1 of the Brampton Courthouse Addition was completed in spring 2020. Phase 1 involves the construction of a six-floor addition, and fit-out of the basement and floors 1 and 2. The Phase 2 project involves the fit-out of the remaining shelled floors of the addition (3-6), as well as the partial renovation of the existing courthouse and adjacent Land Registry building.

Toronto Region Bail Centre

The Toronto Region bail centre (TRBC) project involves the renovation/modification of the existing, leased courthouse building at 2201 Finch Avenue West to accommodate all adult bail operations as well as weekend and statutory holiday (WASH) court bail matters) once the new Toronto courthouse opens in 2023. Renovation and retrofit of some spaces are required to accommodate the bail functions, including the renovation of administration space, the addition of in-custody interview cubicles, and other minor modifications to support the new bail centre and provide digital connectivity to other locations. Once completed, the courthouse will operate as a functional regional bail centre and will be equipped with the technology required to deliver modern, accessible justice services and interconnectivity with the new Toronto courthouse.
