A new construction date is set for the new library in Saskatoon.
Construction for the new Central Library in Saskatoon is now set to begin in October after higher-than-anticipated construction bids derailed plans.
Remediation on the new library site begins in July, with the goal of having the 321 2nd Ave. N. location open by the summer of 2027.A construction manager was brought in to give their input and help the organization understand the differences between the bids and the estimates.
“I’m extremely proud of everyone who has contributed to the redesign process, which has allowed us to maintain the original vision and cultural integrity of this building while moving forward with this project in a financially prudent manner,” said Beth Côté, the SPL’s interim CEO and director of libraries.
A KPMG report from 2017 said the Francis Morrison Central Library, which was built in 1966, was non-compliant with modern building codes and fire requirements for nearly 20 years. One of the many violations pointed out in the report was that the building didn’t have a sprinkler system in case of fire.U of T seeks court injunction to clear encampment as protesters stay put
