Timeline: 2023 onwards
The City of Vaughan is developing a new community centre, library and district park between Dufferin and Bathurst streets near Major Mackenzie Drive. The new multi-use community hub will combine spaces for play, learning, fitness and sports and will further connect the community.
Renewable energy sources will help power this new facility through rooftop solar panels, and the project will pursue both LEED Gold and CaGBC Zero Carbon Building Standard certifications. The building will eliminate the use of high-carbon energy sources such as natural gas and proceed with a net zero carbon and net zero energy exploration in identifying elements beyond the baseline design. Achieving net zero or near net zero carbon and producing as much renewable energy as possible onsite would make the Carrville Community Center and Library one of the highest-performing facilities of its type in North America.
