SASKATOON – The Saskatoon Queen’s Bench court house expansion project is nearly ready to open its doors.
The addition is now complete and people will start occupying the space within the next couple of weeks. The first trial in the new area is scheduled for the end of April.

Renovations on the existing building won’t be complete until the spring of 2015.
The expansion project features increased courtroom space, a pre-trial room, more office space and an underground parkade.
“Right now they exist in leased space, which is converted from office space, so all those issues of security and access and so on are compromised in that setting,” said Keith Henry, with Saskatoon’s HDH Architects.
Saskatoon’s Court of Queen’s Bench was built in 1958.
The cost of the expansion is about $30 million.
