We're lucky Allard Hall looks as good as it does, because it was value-engineered quite a bit from the original couple of renders to what was actually built.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the layout of this building as shown a little earlier in the thread shows a nice big entrance to 108th Street which is great. But on the other side of the building it appears that there is basically no entrance other than a small door leading to their new park on 109th Street. If that is the case for the final design, which I hope that isn't the case, it seems quite a waste of building this nice entry Park to the college but then make it look like an afterthought towards the building right next to it which it's supposed to be leading people to.

It looks like the north side will flow through to the park.

How come this new rendering from Clark Builders bears no resemblance to the preliminary designs submitted to the city?

Document control is a real thing

Looks like they are indeed getting this one shovel (permit) ready.

Yes they are.

Is there any confidence that this is close to the design that will be under construction? Or is this conceptual?

Had a short update on this today and there is a lot of positivity and hope as things progress closer to the budget.

I still don’t know what to make of that giant concrete triangle on the southeast corner. Is that for skateboarders to do some sick tricks off of? Maybe an amphitheater for one? A living wall where all the plants were cut down because they died? A ramp for Evil Kanevel?

Perfect for napping in the sun.

That's a definite VE item.

Its purpose is to block the ugliness happening across 102 Ave. to the south.

Clark Builders issued the RFP for electrical contractors today.

So it might happen this year? I thought Saddlebags Smitty was waiting until 2027? She's gonna have to cancel her train plans to pay for all the new toys she's building in YEG.....NAIT Trades, Norquest, 2 X hospital towers, saving for Stollery - I'm thinking $2B for what I just listed....
