Tom Davies Square

Tom Davies Square is a municipal complex in central Sudbury featuring a triangular main building with a glass-walled facade opening onto an outdoor plaza. The site brings together several connected structures housing city administration, police headquarters, and provincial government departments in one integrated location.

Construction of the complex began in 1973 and finished in 1977, designed by the architecture firm Townend, Stefura, Baleshta and Nicholls. Its completion marked a shift toward centralizing municipal services in one modern facility.

The square takes its name from Tom Davies, a long-serving mayor whose vision shaped modern Sudbury. The plaza itself draws residents and workers who pass through daily, creating a civic center that blends administrative function with public gathering space.

The plaza is easy to reach with ample parking and clear signage in the downtown area. Visitors can walk through public spaces during daytime hours to explore the building interior and observe the architectural design.

The complex is undergoing a major transformation with plans for a new library and art gallery to open by 2026. This expansion will shift the site from purely administrative functions toward becoming a cultural destination for the community.
