Knox Presbyterian Church

 

Location:  Toronto

Project Completion:  2020

 

Knox Presbyterian Church is located on the western boundary of the University of Toronto’s main campus.  The site comprises three distinct building elements which includes the Church (1905-1908), the Fellowship Hall (1961) and the late 19th century semidetached residence that acts as a gateway to the historic Harbord Village Community.
Our firm conducted a Building Review of the entire site in 1993 and outlined a twenty-year plan for the repair and renewal of the entire site.  By late 2010, the church had undertaken a significant portion of this program at a cost of $4,000,000.  Conservation strategies were implemented to renew the stone masonry, stained glass, slate roofs, copper flashings, etc, while at the same time undertaking site upgrades.  
In the spring of 2011, an updated building review recommended a ten year programme to address remaining areas of work within the building.
