I know we discussed the 'fancy' parking garage somewhere else on the forum, but can't find the applicable thread.
So here we go with a new one.
Normally, I think we could agree that a parkade does not merit its own thread; but this one has several unique and interesting features, not to mention the architectural firms involved.
First, a link to the UTSC report approving going forward w/this:
Second, some quick notables from me; followed by renders and text from the report:
- Mass Timber Structure
- Includes extensive retail/grade animation
- Sets the stage for the removal of a great deal of surface parking on campus
- Designed with adaptive re-use in mind (eventual conversion to office or student residence).
- Construction Start targeted for Summer 2022
- Completion Target December 2023
