Metro Hall

Metro Hall is a 27-storey Postmodern-style office tower at the corner of Wellington and John Street in the downtown core of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Only the main building housed Metro employees with the two smaller structures rented out by Marathon to private companies.

It was formerly known as Metro Square, but in April 2011, Toronto City Council voted unanimously to rename the public space after the late civic leader David Pecaut.

The empty council chamber was used as a temporary homeless shelter in 1999 at the behest of then city councillor Jack Layton, and was converted to a 3-1-1 call centre in 2007.

Metro Hall Council Chambers inside the building have been protected under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, since July 2006.
