Kind of split on this so far- the tightly-bound fenestration and fins historicize the building in a way- but the brick is in such a limp yellow that the building feels cheaper than it really is.
AFAIC, this building's presence along St George is better than its Front Campus side.
Was this the last parking lot on St. George? The CEIE certainly fills in and dominates the east-side street wall in the area.

It's kind of neat in a mildly retro way. You don't see yellow bricks being used much these days.
Fits in pretty well here. But the mechanical levels are really a shame to me; the materiality doesn’t seem well selected, and if they’d either kept the brick or gone with a nice stone, it couldn’t rounded out the design quite well.
