New Central Library

About the New Central Library

The Baker District Redevelopment is a City of Guelph development project aimed at transforming the existing parking lot into a unique mixed-use development, including a new central library. 

The Downtown Secondary Plan envisions the Baker District redevelopment becoming a model of urban intensification that drives visitors to the downtown and encourages business to thrive within its boundaries by combining residential and commercial spaces.

Learn more about the Baker District redevelopment and the new central library.

These consultations followed the City of Guelph's Community Engagement Framework. 

These reports summarize consultation and engagement completed on the new central library on Baker Street.
