Downtown Kitchener Public Library To Get $25 million Updgrades


The Downtown Kitchener Public Library, located on Queen Street in the heart of the “civic district”, will get $25 million in upgrades, which will see a complete renovation and expansion of the Library, including a three-level underground parking garage.

Tenders for the upgrades are expected for next summer for an estimated budget cap of $24.9 million for the library and $18.5 million for the Underground garage.

According to project architect David Warne of Levitt Goodman, the challenge to the library upgrades are keeping the existing library open during construction.

If all goes to plan, the Kitchener Public Library upgrades should be completed by 2013.
