The City of Greater Sudbury has selected PCL Construction to lead construction of its Cultural Hub at Tom Davies Square.

The city issued a request for proposals for the project in February. It awarded the work to PCL following a thorough evaluation process.

“We are pleased to move forward with a construction partner that brings extensive experience and a strong track record in delivering complex civic projects,” said the city’s strategic projects lead, Tony Cecutti. “The Cultural Hub will serve as a cornerstone of our downtown revitalization efforts, creating a contemporary, inclusive space that fosters connection, creativity and community engagement.”

City Council approved plans for the development of the Cultural Hub in November 2023. The project will involve retrofitting both 200 Brady St. and 199 Larch St. to include a new Central Library, the Art Gallery of Sudbury and the Sudbury Multicultural and Folk Arts Association.

The project will provide residents with a variety of services in one convenient, centralized location and supports the City’s commitment to accessibility, environmental sustainability, multiculturalism, social inclusion and culture.

Construction is expected to begin in the fall.
