Openings can be prefabbed along with the panels for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression. Good structural engineers should have no problem accommodating that. More info: www.woodworks.org/resources/holes-and-penetrations-in-mass-timber-floor-and-roof-panels/

CLT Floor Panels have emerged and increased in popularity a lot in the last 5 years. They can apply a lightweight concrete topping after installation for sound insulation, but it's optional. Typically they're used in "Short Span" applications (residential) but technology is increasing fast...

That's some really awkward massing.

A 2-year turnaround on what is basically a billion dollar project, for which we haven't seen a design? My jaw will be on the floor if that happens.

Steel also allows much lower labor cost due to the increased speed of construction. More often than not developers have already decided what material they would like, but sometimes we get to do a cost-benefit analysis. There's quite a few variables that drive cost these days.

I previously posted this: I highly doubt they will fill the gaps. Attempting to prevent water ingress would inevitably result significant damage - gaps need to be provided for drying, and they need to be of a minimum size to prevent the capillary effect. This doesn't mean I'm a fan of those...

The only negative I could see is the stairs make accessibility problematic, otherwise I adore it.

Negligible. A geotechnical engineer could provide more nuance, but I don't see any reason not to. I wouldn't get your hopes up though, It'll probably just be turned into a parking lot to expand the footprint of the stampede grounds.

I like the patina look

10th is coming along really well. I'd like to see some action on 2nd St & 10th Ave next, and a Mainstreet plan from the city. I'm picturing one lane of cars in each direction, separated bike lanes, trees with silva cells, and patios. Ideally the plan connects Sunalta station with the new Green...

I wonder if the primary restaurant side will remain along Stampede Trail, or follow the rotation of the building and end up on 12th Ave.

They're just regular spread footings, I doubt anything this short would ever need a raft foundation unless it was on really poor soil. As someone who recently finished many, many years of schooling: it's in your best interest to figure out how to find the answers to your own questions. Start...

So the Trevi Fountain, but more horses.

I think they should get Markstrom off the balance sheet any way possible, Vladar to 1G, and bring up Wolf. Trade Rasmus Andersson and Coleman for picks, and sign Nylander with the new cap space. Give the young guys minutes, and make our D-men play offence. That gives us exciting hockey for the...

I might be missing something, but this doesn't make sense to me. Heritage Dr isn't high flow, and there's lighted intersections both north & south of here. I would think that MacLeod would want to be more of a boulevard and less of a stroad - this interchange would move in the opposite direction.

Is the design for the new SAIT building public yet?

From the Wikipedia page on protected intersections. However I'd like to see the parked cars set back further from the intersection, with a low planter or something in that space. The idea is that the cyclists are fully protected, and when turning, the cars do not have to rely on mirrors but can...

I know it was just passed, and forgive me for not having read everything that change, but I have two ideas: What if we let each Ward decide to universally upzone to R-CG on their own accord? I imagine like half of the Wards would probably approve it, and that's another half of the city that is...

Market opportunity for a retail management company? Residential owner hires retail property manager, I imagine most of the work could be done remotely. Lease cycles are usually 5-10 years, so it would be relatively easy to manage a large number of buildings.

The protected bike lane should be between the sidewalk and the parking, not between the parking and the driving lane.
