Why are those charged not being named? That's what immediately jumps out at me.
I have a good idea of who its likely to be; but still, that information should be public, period, full-stop.

St. Michael's is just so ugly. That ugly beige siding is horrendous. Someday I hope it's completely covered up or replaced.

Maybe I missed something..........where is there beige siding on the hospital? I'll agree most of the complex is architectural meh. But I see various shades of red brick, and hideous pale green spandrel.

I think this will, soon?, be covered by the new building.

Fair enough, pretty small section of the building and mostly obscured from public view, but it is beige and it is ugly.
For work on the northeast corner of this site where the new emergency department will go, please go to this dedicated thread. In the meantime, this thread on the completed Patient Care Tower is now locked.

I am placing this story on the Patient Care Tower at St. Mike's here (from today's Globe)
www.theglobeandmail.com
Apparently we were premature with the 'complete' on this one; though the building is complete from a structural/envelope perspective.
The article (behind the payway) which mostly focuses on the investigations/upcoming court cases related to the tower, notes that the renovations/fit-out associated w/this project, which were to be complete in 2017 and currently scheduled to be complete in 2026!
OPP closed hospital project probe after Infrastructure Ontario told them it would investigate, documents reveal
Ontario police had opened a file into the $300-million project at St. Michael’s Hospital that is years behind schedule, according to unsealed court documents

Some interesting details have emerged at trial...............from this piece in the Globe and Mail:
www.theglobeandmail.com
What we learn above is that Derrick Toigo a current City of Toronto staffer, but employed at Infrastructure Ontario at the time of this project's award to Bondfield, had deep misgivings about same, and refused to sign off on the award.

Its nice to know that someone was asking tough questions and reading the details here...........I'd like to discuss with I.O. how any member of their bid Ctte gave this a pass.
