History

Construction began in late 2004, and is now complete. Development of the east block began in the fall of 2007. It included a 700-stall underground parkade, an urban park,[6] and the demolition of the Court of Queen's Bench facility.

The prime consultant for the building was Kasian Architecture and Interior Design Ltd[7] working collaboratively with design architect Carlos Ott[3] and is built by the Cana construction company[4] with the security system being installed by Convergint Technologies. The structural engineering was provided by Stantec. The north tower's 24 floors stand 129 m (423 ft) high.[1] The project had a budget of $300 million and hosts 73 courtrooms, judicial chambers, and facilities for 180 security personnel and approximately 360 government, library and external agencies staff.
