The Mississauga Civic Centre is the city hall of the city of Mississauga. The Centre was finished in 1987 by Jones and Kirkland and stands at 92 metres high. The design was influenced by farmsteads which once occupied much of Mississauga. The barn-like structure design which includes a clock tower was chosen as the winner of a design competition that included 246 submissions. City Hall is located near Square One Shopping Centre (one of Canada's largest shopping malls) and is home to the City Council of Mississauga. A 9,000 square metre court yard with a pool//fountain/ice rink is located on the south side of the building; to the west is a floral garden, often used for wedding pictures. North is a skateboard park, and south of the complex is the five-storey Mississauga Central Library, one of the largest in the GTA. In this episode we're going to look at some of City Hall's architecture.
