November 5: Some overall King Toronto building views, plus one image of the ongoing cladding / glazing installation along the King Street frontage. This portion of the installation (ground level along the King Street frontage between the west entrance to the courtyard and the driveway) is now complete, and it looks like installation activities will next proceed down the west side of the courtyard entrance. Overall building views - all remaining forming support equipment has now been deinstalled and removed from the site.

November 13: Glazing and cladding installation has over the past few days been taking place in a couple of areas which are quite difficult to see and photograph from the perimeter of the site. First to be done was the ground floor wall along the south side of the interior courtyard between the centre and west entryways. The first photo is of the west portion of this area. The second area, underway today, is of the east section of King Toronto's King Street frontage - pretty much completely hidden by the hoarding that extends from the site's east boundary to the opening for Gate 1.

Cladding along the western portion of courtyard's south wall.

November 18 Afternoon. Installation of the cladding / glazing units along the ground floor of the building's entire King Street facade is now complete. The centre section of the King Street frontage consists of heritage structure facades that were retained in place, so will only need new glass in the existing building window openings.

Installation of the cladding is proceeding along the east wall of the opening to the courtyard. Once installation wraps around the courtyard all that will be left to be done for the ground floor will be the south east section of the courtyard wall, including the wrap around the back to where the heritage building has been retained. Then we should see installation activities starting on the Second Floor.

Heading south into the courtyard:

Interior courtyard ground floor areas still to be done. New glazing visible at the left edge of the photo immediately below.
