Brampton City Hall is home to Brampton City Council and the departments of the city. It is located at the intersection of Wellington Street and Main Street in downtown Brampton.
A park on the site for many years was home to the Brampton Cenotaph (opened in 1928 by Governor General Lord Willingdon[1]), it was named Memorial Park. (A park at South Fletcher's Sportsplex now uses the name and the old former park named Ken Whillans Square)[2] A downtown bus terminal on part of the site opened after 1976 and was closed at some point before 1989, to accommodate construction of the building.[3] (bus services have been relocated to the Downtown Transit Centre)
The six-storey building was designed by Robert J. Posliff Architect Inc.. The project was completed in December, 1990, with move-in occurring in June, 1991.[4][5] The building features a bell tower and a curved entrance with columns. A two-storey addition was also added.[6]
A nine-storey tower opened in 2014 at 41 George Street as part of the Southwest Quadrant Renewal Plan and is connected to City Hall by a glass walkway called Heritage Way.[7] It will house city staff, community rooms and retail space.[8] The site required the demolition of a 4-storey commercial building and a parking lot. It is also a functioning clock tower.
