Downsview Complex

Downsview Complex

Downsview Complex is a provincial office site in Toronto, Ontario.

First developed in the 1950s, the site is currently home to the Ministry of Transportation (Ontario)'s Toronto office (and part of the overall HQ staff) and the Ontario Provincial Police's Downsview detachment. Provincial driving test also takes place here.

Beginning in 2010, the site will be re-developed over a 20 years span.[1]

First to be built will be the new home for the province's Ontario Centre of Forensic Sciences and Coroner's office (re-locating from downtown Toronto).[1]

The Humber River Regional Hospital is being built here to replace two sites (Church and Keele) beginning in 2011 or 2012.[1]

Other provincial offices will be built on the site. Many of the older MTO buildings will be demolished during the development.[2]

The OPP will remain on the site.

New roads will be built to provide easier access (currently there are two entrances from Keele Street and Wilson Avenue).
