The stage could be hydraulic, like the one at the Princess of Wales or North York Centre for the Performing Arts. It could be flush with the square when not in use, or raised during a performance

I would presume that they are training - or rehearsing using real bodies in a new space so that the director of the show can determine the right spaces to be used on camera, where cameras will be positioned, that feeds are functioning properly, lighting is setup and corrected and on & on. I think it would be akin to making a film or live theatre, the talent doesn't just walk in front of a camera or onto a stage and wing it. There's plenty of preparation and rehearsal involved for what we see on screen and a mass amount of work & preparation that also goes on behind the scenes.

Speaking of "Piers", they should set up some Pasolini-like spectacle within Dundas Square, someday
Yeah, you're handling that one well. Hey. I made a funny. "Piers". "Handling".
One really cool piece of information is that the new BT will make heavy use of a boom camera. When transitioning from the hosts to say Frankie, there'll be a frame of the hosts, then a zoom out and panning up to the reporter on the atrium/studio's second floor balcony. I can imagine that looking amazing. They didn't have that kind of ceiling height at the old studio and they're making good use of it in the new one.
I hope the engineers and techs get to put alot of their input into the configuration but alas it is rarely so
