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.

Eataly at the eaton centre will probably be less grocery based and more restaurant based. There is residential in the area, but not to the degree there is in yorkville.

I have seen some questionable construction practices here. Namely, powering of construction tools on the site was being done by extension cords running out of the house at 356 Huron St, south of Glen Morris. With the cables running across a street with active traffic. Makes me concerned with the...

A lot of the 400 series highways seem to be numbered off of nearby regular ontario highways. Like 410 is near highway 10... 427 is near highway 27, 407 is near highway 7... Don't think that will really work here

The remaining landscaping around the garage entrance is progressing and looking good. Encampment is ongoing- aerial shots from their instagram show that the grass isn't doing so great. U of T has cancelled or moved online many of the alumni reunion events set for the end of May, indicating no...

^Despite roads closed to public vehicles, construction vehicles appear to be permitted through. Work has been ongoing, even through the weekend. They are likely trying to get things wrapped up by spring reunion and convocation.

I really wish the province could get back all of the 407 that's south of 401 near Milton. It would be great if the 413 could be made continuous down to the QEW, and the 403 could instead take the 407's place westward as was originally intended and go out to Burlington.

If they followed Albion Vaughan, might as well call it highway 450. It would be a long way off from 27.

Yes, I was referring to the tent situation. Certainly will be damaging but the tents cover a large section, so at least it will be somewhat uniform. I think I saw they covered all the sprinkler heads with buckets, so at least it's not like part of the lawn is going to be well watered while other...

We were so concerned about the effect of desire paths, but at least now the lawn will look more uniform when things eventually wrap up there.

Who is the coffee vendor there???

Update on this mystery: They now have decal covering these. One of them reads "Soon we will be pulling back the curtains on our deepest secret. (Hint: Canada's largest urban geoexchange)".

This is moving along quickly. Looks like the basement foundation for the new build was done by last weekend.

Hmm... I do wonder if they actually mean a literal classroom, or if they just mean that the viewing window allows for learning, making it serve like a "classroom" of sorts. I am reading elsewhere that they do intend for experiential learning with the geothermal aspect, but I would assume it's...

I had no idea there was a mobile home park here.

I'm sorry- what? That sounds absolutely bizarre. When they were building it, that space looked to be full of piping, there wasn't anything open enough to be a classroom space. I also don't see any doors nearby of appropriate of "lecture hall" quality. I initially hoped when they poured it...

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...

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

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.
