When did they start going by "U of G"?

I don't think #5 is unoccupied... isn't it listed on the door as the "Downie Wenjack Fund Legacy Space"? Not sure what goes on inside there.

Wow that office tower's existence wasn't for very long, was it. What a waste of time, money, and materials. Couldn't they see a hospital redevelopment on the horizon before it was built?

I wonder if Caledon will ever shift from the OPP to Peel Regional Police. They are getting increasingly urban in particular areas with more and more subdivisions.

I can't quite tell... did they finally tear down the carriage house that had been incorporated into the previous structure?

Just to clarify this one... It was actually demolition and construction of THIS house in the photo that resulted in structural instability of the neighbour, which was owned by U of T. The fenced off portion in the photo is the site of where said unstable house had to be demolished. The lot just...

That still the case? Through the windows, I don't see a stairwell in the eatery portion to the 2nd floor. Access to the 2nd floor is from a second entrance, as far as I can tell, and I am guessing is residential.

Work is still going on the commercial spaces but signage is up... some tenants are from the former building that was on site (all retail is a food hall concept again). This looks to be just take out counters; I don't see where any seating could fit. That's going to be problematic for the library...

Have heard that during construction, much of Sid Smith office and classroom spaces will be moving to vacated CAMH buildings on Ursula Franklin Street, which the university now owns (Much of CAMH programming has relocated to their Queen St site).

Hm... would really liked to know what the numbered features are. Couldn't find description at the link.

Well, so far they haven't "built" new washrooms to replace the old ones in the west wing, and I really don't think they will until they literally build the new building. They have instead "renovated" the existing central washrooms. Looking at a completed one, the renovation was essentially just...

I don't really like the look of the renderings. It doesn't really fit in with the college like the pieces it is replacing. Weird mish mash. Looks like in one of those renderings that the college will be getting its own library. Demolition has begun.

Interesting... I feel like that was pretty fast, they were at Sherway for not that long. Probably spent longer at their old location across the street on North Queen. Yeah, sail is a huge space to fill. Leapfrogging so much might not help this location of SportChek/Atmosphere in the long run.

I didn't mean literally the entire space. I meant more the location, as the main store anchoring that end of the mall.

Lakehead already has an Orillia campus though that they are slowly growing. I don't see them being a contender for coming to Barrie. But I agree that a satellite of something else would certainly breathe more life into Barrie. I don't know much about McMaster- do they just have the one campus...

You're talking about the mystery tunnel? Was it later replaced with the leather shop retail unit then? Or commuters lounge? And the Royal York connection was on the west side of Front St Promenade, I think where the greenhouse juice store is.

I know zero about "rent control", but like, how is that fair that one set of tenants gets to pay $600 less than the "new tenants"? We are all facing the same world with inflation and increased costs on just about everything. Why should it be the case that younger people have to face increased...

The College Street entrance doors really irk me. Why not make them the same size? I also don't understand the reasoning for the elevations at the front- doesn't seem to me like stairs should have been needed from that diagonal path southwest away from the front doors. Maintaining that hill with...

The fencing has come down! Usage appears to be a consolidation of offices from other areas of the campus (Huron St, Communications House, Banting Building, etc). No one has officially moved in yet.

They've already renovated a number of areas in Bissell over the last couple of years... I'm not sure what they could do to consider it a "revitalization" unless they rip out some of what they've already updated.
