Sooo, with Sheridan announcing all their huge cuts today, and George Brown having grown in the numbers of international students. Um… they gonna be able to keep this? Post secondary is looking pretty dire right now. Maybe once Corus is out of their misery (and lease) George Brown looks at moving some operations off King st?

...seems like that speculation should be for another thread.
 
What’s left to do? Time to move out! Hopefully this isn’t a construction site until Jan 1 or March 1 or August 31st.

^If I remember clearly there will be around 5,000 students using this building so a bit of a bump for the liveliness of East Bayfront and the housing market/cafés!

Great thing the 114, 75 and 65 buses will all be more than able to handle the influx...

Yes, they may not be delayed (as much) on Queen's Quay but they will still all sit in traffic jams on Bay, Lower Jarvis and Lower Sherbourne. Traffic problems cannot be solved by 'fixing' a single bottle-neck.

Yeah, the sidewalk across the street was pretty jam packed when I was down there last. Hopefully they clear up the Sherbourne bike path north of Lakeshore sooner than later.
 
Unsure of what would best work here in indirect sunlight, but I hope to see some greening of the space around it. Likely getting picky now I. The final stretch, but a showpiece like this shouldn’t feel so marooned in concrete.
 
GBC opens for classes tomorrow and I am wondering if this building is opening as well? Looked online and can’t get any info.
