"It's really quite amazing," he said last week. However, as the building takes shape with each week of construction, Shewfelt said the colour of the new town hall is causing some confusion for residents. "I think a few people don't understand the colour scheme;" he said. `What's why we had (consulted) heritage locally and with the prov- ince's heritage people." The red brick design was given by the On- tario Heritage Trust to set the new building apart as separate, while being unified in both usage and services with old Town Hall. "The way I summed it up after talking with the architects is basically to give the impres- sion of two buildings," Shewfelt said. "But we know they will be one function." By making the building on the comer of West and Waterloo a different colour, Shew- felt said the distinction of the old town hall stand's out all the more. "I think it looks great," he said. `Two build- ings, one function and where they join will be all glass at the front." The extra space will be very much appreci- ated by town council and staff, who currently share offices at Goderich Hydro across the street. Shewfelt said it is cramped quarters for the municipal staff, given their ever-expanding mandate from the provincial government. "With what's been handed down from the province, we need space," he said. Not only do they need space for council chambers and offices for staff, but he said there also needs to be quiet space for people who have more sensitive or personal requests, such as cemetery and burial arrangements. • The addition of an elevator in the old town hall will make both buildings more functional and accessible he said. Shewfelt added there are no overruns in the budget for the building, though council has approved a $101,000 gen- erator to be installed during the construc- tion process. . • PARK THEATRE o TM s • GODERICH 524-7811 Fri & Sat 6:45 & 9:15 Sun - Thur 8:00 • wobecw it licived 1. • 1°7" d PG t 4j Aug. 07-13 44, / 1! 1 1 1.• 1•. 1 / 1 1 1. 1 1 1.T I .1 .
