    Toronto U of T: The Gateway | ?m | ?s | Westbank

    Smart thinking, I hadn't considered that. The Charles buildings are aging and not fitting in well with the evolving design of the neighbourhood. The foyer is nice enough. I like the auditorium, but last I heard is that it will be razed. I don't think it's used anymore since UTS vacated the...

    Toronto 364 Huron | 13.84m | 3s | Unix Housing Group | Icon

    Update: Demolition imminent. Excavator on site ready to go.

    Hamilton Lincoln Alexander Hall | 59.31m | 15s | Knightstone | Diamond Schmitt

    WOW. What a difference. This looks like it was a lovely residential area. Couldn't they have kept any of the mature trees on site? There are many out on the boarders near sidewalk. They cleared absolutely everything.

    Toronto U of T: Robarts Library Renovations & Robarts Common | ?m | ?s | U of T | Diamond Schmitt

    It bothers me that it's still not totally done. There are little deficiencies around the exterior that haven't been fixed. And the grassy / park-like area just north of it hasn't been fixed up either. There is a generator still parked on site that hasn't been used for months and months. The...

    Toronto Royal Ontario Museum | ?m | ?s | Daniel Libeskind

    What exactly is the "spirit room"? Is it that multi-storey space where platforms just run through it?

    Mississauga U of T: UTM Science Building | ?m | ?s | U of T | Kieran Timberlake

    Oh wow that was surprising. I don't think I've ever seen a site where they build a structure like that exclusively for facade mock-ups and then remove it.

    Mississauga 170 Lakeshore Road East | 56.6m | 17s | Lightpoint | Arcadis

    Personally I can understand why some might be upset. The shadow from this will impact the residential to the north and likely the schoolyard further north as well. It's not pleasant using outdoor space in the shadow of a tall building. It's cold, gloomy, and sometimes even quite windy. Not to...

    Toronto U of T: Landscape of Landmark Quality | ?m | 1s | U of T | MVVA

    The point is to NOT fit the campus architecture. The gazebo is meant as an Indigenous ceremony meeting spot, hence the fire pit, native plants, and traditional names written on plaques.

    Toronto U of T: Lash Miller Building Expansion | 25.03m | 4s | U of T | Mikkelsen Arkitekter

    Demolition has started and almost complete actually.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    They haven't needed permits for those things before have they? They looked like simple enough things not to require permits. And I think we already have more than three of them. I feel like this is something bigger like the lounge

    Innisfil 1878 Innisfil Beach Road | ?m | ?s | Kingsdale

    Sorry, it's currently a farm field and is going to have towers? That's some rapid densification right there.

    Toronto U of T: FitzGerald Building Conversion | 4.89m | 1s | U of T | RDHA

    It's nice lit up at night. They have exterior lighting highlighting the west side. They've also been keeping all the interior lights on at night, and it's clear they pretty much gutted the entire building and made open offices everywhere. All the furniture is moved in already. A couple of...

    Toronto U of T: Schwartz Reisman Innovation Centre (Phase 1) | 64.8m | 13s | U of T | Weiss/Manfredi

    Interestingly the washrooms seem to be unisex (or at least on the 2nd floor), and for using the elevator, you select your floor before entering the elevator.... I guess that's better for security reasons maybe

    Toronto U of T: Academic Wood Tower | 77m | 14s | U of T | Patkau

    Interesting... I guess they already built the base with enough structural integrity to support a tower? I guess they were planning this long before they sought the approvals.

    Toronto Ronald McDonald House | 62.8m | 18s | Ronald McDonald House Charities | Montgomery Sisam

    Is this not severely wasteful to redevelop this already though? Especially for a charity? If I was a major donor to the present 240 McCaul building, I would probably be quite upset. How much did that building cost anyway?

    Toronto U of T: Academic Wood Tower | 77m | 14s | U of T | Patkau

    Did they remove the roof of the garage section, then put a new one on?

    Toronto Spadina Sussex Residence University of Toronto | 75.55m | 23s | U of T | Diamond Schmitt

    Can we rename this thread to "Oak House" Student Residence? That is the formal name of this building. https://spacesandexperiences.utoronto.ca/housing/introducing-oak-house-student-residence/

    Several? I thought only the "union spaces" storefront was meant to be for pop-ups. (???)

    ^ I don't think most people even realize that's a solar clock. But I agree with you. That Galbraith road section leaves much to be desired. The cafe would have prob just been a move of the medsci tim hortons anyway. Not a big loss imo. That roadway is not a dead end because they realized they...
