Engineering consultants have recommended limiting access to the Bell Mansion building, which houses the gallery
The Art Gallery of Sudbury has announced what it's referring to as a "temporary closure" due to safety issues within the building.
On Friday, October 6, Laurentian University shared a letter of recommendation from their engineering consultants recommending limiting access to the Bell Mansion building, which houses the Art Gallery of Sudbury, said a statement posted to the gallery's Facebook page Thursday afternoon. The engineering firm was hired by Laurentian University to inspect the safety of the Bell Mansion building, which is owned by Laurentian. The letter stated it was necessary to limit access to specific areas of the building, out of an abundance of caution due to observed conditions.
The Gallery immediately complied with the letter of recommendation and has been closed since that time. Laurentian University has erected barriers around the specific areas and has hired experts to further investigate the state of the building. The Art Gallery of Sudbury team is exploring options for temporarily relocating weeknight and weekend art education programs and hopes to provide an update soon.Further updates will be provided on the gallery website, www.artsudbury.org, when available.
