St. Aidan Church Revitalization now out for tender
Image: St. Aidan Church RevitalizationDesigned by DTAH, the Church of St. Aidan Revitalization at 2423 Queen Street East in Toronto is now out for tender. Construction is anticipated to start Fall 2020 and be complete by Summer 2021. The project’s primary focus is to support the church in realizing its vision to serve and connect to the community. The church is to be made universally accessible on both levels through the introduction of a new level-access front door, entry lounge and elevator; administrative offices are to be relocated to the front of the church, and the lower level is to be extensively renovated to increase its functionality as a series of multi-purpose community program spaces. The exterior landscape will also be transformed, with the redesign of the Queen Street frontage accommodating a new paved entry plaza, seating area and landscaping. New signage is proposed on Queen, as well as a comprehensive upgrade to the church’s mechanical and electrical systems to meet the church’s energy efficiency and sustainability objectives.
