Much better than the standard approach of slapping the address on the building in large arial font.

will there be a "McMaster" logo at the top of the tower?

I don't recall seeing anything in their renders for head signage.

The problems continue....
Probably a few dead rats in the pipes.

Tenants to temporarily move out of McMaster University residence building plagued by water-quality issues
Tenants of a downtown McMaster University residence are required to relocate to “a nearby hotel” for five nights in February as the building undergoes a “comprehensive” chlorination process to rid its water system of bacteria.

Looks like there will be some signage at the top after all. Oddly though this will likely be largely covered up when the building to the west reaches it's full height.

That building will only be 82m tall, so a good 20m difference almost. Should still be able to see it from most angles.

It's actually 94.3 m (213 King Street West), not 82, so only 3.3m shorter -- definitely weird that they opted to put signage on the Western facing side. Is the same being done on the side facing eastward?

I imagine we will see signage on more than one side, but that this is the first to get built.

I've always felt like Hamilton was lacking in signage on our existing towers, excited too see this lit up at night

There was some discussion in this thread on Skyscraper Page about future downtown campus growth, but I hate uploading pictures there. McMaster built a brand new master plan which I can link here if anyone wants, but the downtown campus plan is scant on information. Seems mostly residential with the property across Bay St planned to have some institutional uses. It would be great for there to be some classes being held downtown for certain programs or for entire programs to exist downtown:

Wow didn't know there was concept plans for that lot. That would be amazing.

Yeah that would be great, students can definitely liven an area! The concept art is giving me very 1960s/70s vibes lol.

Between this, hotels, First Ontario Centre & other developments in the area, a Bay St LRT stop should be warranted
