New Toronto Courthouse
Project designed by RPBW
A new justice square in downtown Toronto
The New Toronto Courthouse situated in Toronto’s downtown core, just steps from Nathan Phillips Square and Toronto City Hall, will become a key element of the downtown civic precinct. The new state of the art facility will consolidate several existing facilities, thus modernizing the administration of justice for Torontonians and the Province of Ontario. At an urban level, the goal of the project is to create coherence and connection to the cultural heritage and natural features of the city.
