Elgin County completes $14M renovation of its 1930s admin building, boosting efficiency, accessibility, and savings.
Elgin County’s $14-million modernization of its Central Elgin administration building is nearing completion, with work expected to finish by 2027.
The decade-long project included replacing 1930s-era elevators and upgrading aging infrastructure, with the second phase focused on new exterior cladding, insulation, and 500 windows—completed under the original $5 million budget.
The upgrades aim to improve energy efficiency, reduce heating costs by $18,000 annually, enhance accessibility, and create additional storage.
Funded without debt, the project’s annual amortized cost of about $500,000 matches tenant revenue from leased space.
Officials say the investment addresses deteriorating conditions, supports staff and tenants, and delivers long-term value despite minor cost variations from inflation and market changes.
