Construction will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, over the next 30 months approximately, with limited construction done on weekends and holidays. Phase 1, the expansion of the current headquarters will run from September 2022 to fall 2023. The current site will be renovated so it integrates seamlessly with the expansion, which will take place from fall 2023 to winter 2024, possibly into early 2025.

While parking will remain available to visitors and individuals working in the Civic Precinct during construction, access to the area and parking at City Hall, Abbotsford Police Department, University of the Fraser Valley, The Reach Gallery Museum and the Clearbrook Library will be impacted, and in some cases moved to a nearby area.

Maps are available on the City’s website and throughout the Civic Precinct to guide visitors. Visitors are asked to give themselves extra time to get to where they are going and anticipate construction-related disruptions on site.
