North York Civic Centre

North York Civic Centre is a seven-story administrative building located on Yonge Street that houses municipal offices and service departments. The structure functions as a central hub where residents access various government services and permits.

The building opened in 1979 as the city hall for North York and received the Governor General's Medal for Architecture three years later. This award recognized the building's innovative design and its importance as a civic structure.

The building functions as a meeting point for community gatherings and public events where local residents regularly come together. It reflects the role of this center as an important place for neighborhood matters and citizen engagement.

The building complex is easily reached by public transit since the nearby subway station provides underground access for visitors. An on-site library allows visitors to take breaks while handling administrative tasks.

The building was honored for its innovative design with architectural awards and stands as a notable example of civic architecture from its era. The direct connection to the neighboring library creates an unexpected blend of administrative and cultural spaces within one setting.
