I actually don't think that before seeing that photo I appreciated that there is also a triangular part in the middle to flow through with the St. Lawrence Hall roof.

Those rounded roofs are one of the best parts of this thing.

Work on the 'edging' and soffit continues today. (Note they are installing insulation below the aluminium (?) covers.)

On sunny days, with some dehazing in post production
Canon 600 RF F11 with x2 extender = 1200mm fixed at F22.
Stabilization is nice, autofocus is a little finicky, expensive hobby. I wouldn’t recommend it.

There's just layer upon layer upon layer of insulation / weather-proofing on this roof. Crazy.

Presumably explaining why it will not open before spring 2024!

Are you serious?? Wow. I didn't know that. I thought it was opening this summer or fall.

Unfortunately not. I am not sure why the City cannot open the Market floor - which is basically a large open space - (and even the lower level parking floors) before the more complex Court floors above are opened but apparently they can't.

Wow, that's a bummer! I was really excited to check it out this year. They are moving the temporary Saturday market (south of St. Lawrence Market) to here right?

Yes, back to its home. They are also looking for someone to do something there on Sundays, to replace the former antique market. There will be some sort of cafe on main or mezzanine floors but not sure if only on weekends.

Looks like one of those "high tech" commercial/industrial buildings from SimCity.

In the RFP, it was to have a green roof. Presumably, it will be covered in foliage.
