Really glad there is coloured glass. The last renders I saw had them clear.

Cladding has appeared at the south end of the bus terminal:

Form work for a vent shaft:

We have updated our dataBase to reflect that "Stevens Group Architects / IBI Group Architects" has been folded into IBI Group. Though this project was originally partially credited to the old long form version of their name, the dataBase file now simply shows IBI Group as per their request.

That update feels more like a thread bump.

The pictures of the main entrance should show the cladding colours a bit better.

I really appreciate the super wide sidewalks here, which are wide enough to fit a car. As for the utility poles in the middle of it: not cool.

It's probably a temporary sidewalk and the utility poles could be temporary too

I doubt the new sidewalks are just temporary. This was the old version.

They will probably redo them anyway. If they don't then we'll.....

Is this thing supposed to be a fist wielding a spear, or am I looking at it wrong?

I'm glad we're getting the colourful design instead of the subdued concrete-and-glass Brutalist version that appeared in later renderings. However, we still haven't seen the cladding on the upper portion of the pavilion. Hopefully, it's the barcode pattern and not the concrete panels in this rendering.

I'm worrying about the exact same thing. I wonder why progress has been so slow at this station, If i recall correctly, it had a head start (in terms of percent completed) compared to the other stations.

TTC is just as worried as you are - and it's a Bondfield project -

Surprise, Surprise- Bondfield strikes yet again with another striking performance.

This isn't the company working on the Pickering GO bridge that also has not been finished, is it?
