The shape of the thing is turning out to be interesting, even if the cladding looks farm grade paneling...

I hope they will be painted, If not it’s a disaster compared to renderings

^^^ Sigh.... this one is the antithesis of a marketing poster for Mass Timber...........

I don't understand how anyone at my Alma Mater approved this..............

The idea is great, the execution is nothing short of abysmal.

...as I said it would look so much better if the cladding materials looks like wood. Toronto greys without the spandrel is still Toronto grey. /sigh

Is this is the Robarts Library of our time at the St. George campus?
Well, other than that the fact that this is objectively worse in every way than that project.

It looks like a 70's hospital, (Morningside Hospital).
