17083-01 - La Place Des Arts du Grand Sudbury: Phase 1 - Site Remediation

The Place des Arts (PdA) is a non-profit and charitable organization with seven founding members and eight future permanent resident organizations that is looking to construct an approximately 40,000 sqft new facility at the corner of Larch and Elgin Street in Sudbury. This vacant site, currently used for parking, sits across train tracks located on the west site of Elgin Street.The new facility has been envisioned as a multi-storey building that would incorporate a 300 seat theatre, a black box studio and rehearsal space, a bistro, an art gallery, a gift shop, a youth studio, a daycare, and administrative spaces including meeting rooms, and support spaces. 
The implementation of this significant building aligns with the Greater Sudbury downtown revitalization master plan. It will be a pillar for francophone communities and the only multidisciplinary art center in northern Ontario.
The first phase of the project will consist of site remediation, installation of a separation barrier, and backfill with an engineered reinforced granular pad to support the future building structure.
