The City is redeveloping Centennial Plaza to create a more attractive, welcoming and accessible destination.

Centennial Plaza Elevator Closure
The parkade elevators are out of service during construction at Centennial Plaza. During this time, please use the library elevator on level P2 and P3 during daytime hours or the Pedway on level P2 to access elevators at the Winspear, City Hall, Churchill LRT, City Centre Mall or the Citadel Theatre.

Project Update - February 2023

Work continues with the installation of new surface materials in the plaza. Portions of the parkade on level P1 are currently being used to construct form work that will be used for placing the new concrete benches in the plaza.

The construction work and the presence of heavy equipment may create noise, which will have a short-term impact on nearby residents and businesses. 

All City of Edmonton contract workers are required to abide by the City’s Community Standards Bylaw 14600 which restricts noise levels and hours of work. 

Please respect all signage and obey staff direction in this active work zone.
