Green office tower
The province will spend $100 million retrofitting a
Toronto office tower to prove that its carbon footprint can
be reduced by employing a number of initiatives from the
recently passed Green Energy Act.
The iconic building at 222 Jarvis Street, formerly the
head office building of Sears Canada was recently acquired
by the province. The 455,000-square-foot building will be
retrofitted and aim for LEED-gold standing.
Toronto-based WZMH Architects was selected in
March to design the green workplace and the responses to
a request for proposals for a project manager are currently
under evaluation.
