County plans to demolish
most of old Huronview site
Thousands of square feet of
space will be demolished after the
Huronview expansion is completed
because there just isn’t enough
demand for space in Huron to alter
native uses.
The huge central section of the
old Huronview building, measuring
more than 70,000 square feet, is
almost certain to be demolished
and, since costs to renovate it are
nearly as high as to build from
scratch, the one-story, 7000 square
foot Eastdale portion of the build
ing is also likely to be razed, coun
ty councillors were told Thursday,
during a special afternoon session
of County Council at Huronview
which included a tour of both old
and new facilities.
Getting a reprieve will be the
"Summerhill" section of the home
which is currently being used by
the Huron Day Centre. That sec
tion will have to get its own heating

the new building is finished, much of the old Huronview will be demolished. The other end of the building, the
"1967" wing may become the home
for the Huron County Health Unit
and the headquarters of the Huron
County Library. The Library had
looked at the possibility of the
"Eastdale" wing but the cost of
enclosing the building and provid
ing independent electrical and heat
ing systems, plus renovations,
would have hit $80 per square foot,
almost the price of a new building,
and wouldn't have been as satisfac
tory as a new building.
Enclosing the 1967 wing would
cost only $35-$37 per square foot
for the 15,000 square feet on each
floor. It might require another $25
per square foot to renovate the inte
rior to new uses.
The Health Unit could make use
of the top floor while the Library
might be able to use the lower
floor. The architect for the project
will talk to Dr. Maarten Bokhout,
County Medical Officer of Health
and Beth Ross, County Librarian,
about the needs of their depart
ments before proceeding further.
