Located on an 85-hectare site traversed by the picturesque Upper Rouge River, this four-storey, office campus is organized as four linked modules that orient most workspaces towards the naturalized river valley. Meeting rooms, inter-floor stairways, coffee kiosks and bistros located on the perimeter of the building have special views of this unique site amenity.
Several “green” strategies were adopted including forest regeneration, and improvements to filtration of ground water runoff. The use of flamed granite and green tinted glass on the exterior creates a warmth, making the building a subtle intervention into the surrounding landscape.
The 50,000 m², $90M complex is served by surface parking for 2000 cars. A separate on-site facility provides daycare for up to 200 children.
