The space program carries an estimated capital cost of construction of $189,775,000. Over half of this cost is attributable to the new Central Library (Table 5) with the remainder split fairly equally among proposed District and Neighbourhood Branches. Note that these order of magnitude cost estimates will need to be refined through future design exercises based on their construction as stand-alone or integrated branches.

Sub-Total: Central Library Sub-Total: District Branches Sub-Total: Neighbourhood Branches Total Capital Costs – All Branches
$110,425,000 (58% of total) $41,000,000 (22% of total) $38,350,000 (20% of total) $189,775,000
* Derived from preliminary costing estimates prepared for the Brampton Centre For Innovation (as of December 2021) Note: Capital cost estimates are stated in 2021 dollars and exclude escalation, construction contingency, soft costs and FFE. Costs should be interpreted as high level estimations with a range of accuracy at +/- 30% that should be confirmed through future design exercises. Costs do not include those associated with repurposing or demolishing Four Corners Branch (to be determined) or vacating the South West branch.
