Roy McMurtry Youth Centre
Torys partner Dan Ford acted as counsel to Infrastructure Ontario and the Ministry of Community and Social Services as the public authorities for the C$93 million Roy McMurtry Youth Centre PPP project to build and finance a youth detention facility in Brampton, Ontario.
The new innovative facility replaces the Toronto Youth Assessment Centre and the Invictus Youth Centre, and provides a youth-centred environment and offers a safe, secure and healthy rehabilitative environment for youth in conflict with the law.
Highlights of the project include
- construction of eight new buildings and renovations to two existing buildings
- an innovative facility that includes smaller, 16-person residential units for up to 192 youth
- a multi-faith worship centre
- separate buildings for education and recreation, including an indoor gymnasium
- a structural design and landscaping that will enhance the surrounding community
- facility designs to meet the Canada Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) “silver” certification standards, which certifies the world's “greenest” buildings
Further information on the project can be found on Infrastructure Ontario's website.
