Darn, it'd been a while so I was hoping they just forgot about the reclad

Earlier someone said this was for rooftop HVAC unit upgrade. Is that no longer the case?

Afaik they're still doing/have done that, so I assumed they just decided not to reclad the building after the crane had been up there for a while.

Gross. That flood wall is a prime example of value engineering rearing its ugly head again. They must be doing something to cap off the flood wall because leaving it like that not only looks atrocious, but I think it is also quite dangerous. Leaving a sharp, rusty, wavy metal wall exposed like that is just asking for some type of trouble. I can foresee a cyclist or e-scooter rider losing control, bailing off to the side and landing on/into that thing.

Some pool noodles should do the trick





In all seriousness, id assume they will continue with the wood slats along the entire wall

I actually like the look of that sheet piling flood wall - it's much better than if it were a monolithic concrete wall. The way it integrates with with concrete and wood portions is nicely designed. Once the shrubbery grows in you will barely notice it's there.

Mathison Hall at the UofC is almost done:

That looks great! UofC is coming a long way from their brutalist past lol.

It's really great how the area to the west of the building was transformed from a bunch of surface parking lots into an actual greenspace.

Awesome job U of C! They really have come a long ways. While we don’t have the historic buildings of many universities in Canada, maybe we can become the most modern/futuristic looking campus. Now to re-do Mac Hall, bulldoze Craigie Hall, and renovate the Education building.

Wow, that is a nice looking building.
