I was catching a bus this past Sunday by Dent/Pharm, I love it.
I find the modern addition compliments the historic character.

I was pretty wary of how the glass box would look based on the original design - there are so many bad examples of ugly revitalizations of historic buildings where they tack on a big modern shape that is inconsistent with the original building (the ROM immediately comes to mind). But I think the (appearance of) separation between the addition and the original building in this case actually helps preserve a lot of the character of the old building. The glass facade is not too monolithic - it really doesn't attract a huge amount of attention and will allow passers by to focus on the original dent/pharm.

I'll reserve final judgement until it's fully complete, but I'm pleasantly relieved at this stage.

Since I'm back on campus I figured I'd grab some more shots:

Glad to see they've redone the walkways around it too. As a business student, I always found that pathway to the business quad pretty rough.

I bet this project wins a few awards. Really cool.

So fresh and so new.View attachment 348213

Darn too bad they spent all that money on a new building like that and couldn't even afford to put permanent toilets in.

Fencing has been pushed closer to the actual building and the laneway that was previously closed as been rebuilt and re-opened. Looks very sharp, tons of activity every single day.

GEC's got a couple more of those construction photos on their Dent Pharm (excuse me, now University Commons!) website:
