Asbestos, malfunctioning heating and a faulty roof: These are the issues that Ontario says are behind the Science Centre closureThe province says keeping the current Ontario Science Centre building open to the public even temporarily would still require the “immediate closure” of the facility along with an initial investment of $70 million in “urgent capital repairs” and another $20 to $40 million for “immediate roof repairs.
Staff can remain at the facility over the summer in order to decommission the site by Oct. 31, the province has said. According to the province, "highly intrusive access through reinforced concrete" would be required to look into uninvestigated areas in Building A, a move they say could cause significant impacts, including vibration and structural shifting, to the existing roof panels. This, the province said, could post a "risk to occupants within the building."
In Building B, the province noted that there is no heating due to malfunctioning heating pipes, a situation which would need to be fixed before the winter season due fire safety risks associated with "sprinkler system freezing.” "It's not as simple as you just saying, 'Go in there and throw some shingles down, and we're all done," Ford said when asked by reporters at the press conference.
