The application will permit the renovation and expansion of the one storey portion of the Lash Miller building, adding an approximate 2,933.0 square metres over three storeys within the existing footprint at the northeast corner of the building. The proposed expansion will result in a total gross floor area of 5,121.0 square metres for the entire Lash Miller building, which incorporates an existing 2188.0 square metres of retained GFA.

Are all of the symbols being retained, or only those seven? It looks like the other ten are being replaced with a glazed wall?

At a minimum, I'd want to see the remaining symbols reinstalled on the glazing (it might like neat from the inside!), or have them reincorporated in the lobby

It seems major construction is starting at the proposed renovation site. There are "permanent" TPZ barriers up, along with a road closure (the through road between Sydney Smith and Lash miller was always closed to cars).

I see permits in place for all of the interior work, but nothing for the addition.

interesting, why would they be setting up tree barriers then? I've been at UofT for almost a decade now and throughout all their major building construction projects, fairly permanent tree barriers have been used (made from plywood, not the orange mesh stuff) - so I'm assuming these barriers are for the addition

I don't know, they could be doing the work early as part of obtaining their building permits. I know UT wants to get this done ASAP.

Just checked, the SPA has not been given NoAC yet. (Notice of Approved Conditions)

They don't have their Site Plan Approval yet, so they definitely can't build anything yet.
