Richmond invites feedback on exterior character of new Steveston Community Centre and Branch Library


18 May 2022

As the City of Richmond progresses through the character design phase of the new Steveston Community Centre and Branch Library, it is offering a number of opportunities for the public to learn about the proposed concept for the building’s exterior character.

The replacement of the Steveston Community Centre and Branch Library was identified by Richmond City Council as a priority major facility project for the period of 2016-2026. Council has approved the program, site location and floor plans for the new facility, as well as a budget of $90 million to complete the design and construction of the facility. Development of the character design is the next major step in the facility’s development. The new facility will serve the community into the future supporting the physical, wellness, life-long learning, and creative needs of those who live, work and play in Steveston and surrounding neighbourhoods.

We invite the public to participate in one of the following public engagement opportunities to learn about the proposed character design and to provide feedback:
