Four Competing Design Teams Unveil Their Concepts for the Etobicoke Civic Centre
On Tuesday, April 25, four shortlisted design teams publically presented their designs for a new Etobicoke Civic Centre in front of over 140 community members, a five-member jury, City Councillors in attendance, partners at the City of Toronto and the project teams. The design teams were shortlisted in February 2017 from a pool of local and international design talent asked to submit their proposals as part of the Westwood Theatre Lands redevelopment.
A five-member jury, made up of leaders in the fields of planning, urban design, architecture and landscape architecture, evaluated the submissions on Wednesday April 26. A decision is now being finalized. Please click here to view more information about the jury members.
