I see this finishing in 2030/31, given the challenges of this site. I remain extremely disappointed in the decision to build this here rather than repair a long neglected, already existing purpose built facility for the OSC. But I guess this'll be one of the Ford Family's legacy projects (please don't name anything here in honour of Rob or the Premier...)
I still struggle to make sense of the idea of Therme setting up here, but thats for another thread.
 
Love how they decided to not include Ford's parking garage in the renderings.

Actually, the original OSC site would've been more accessible by transit in a sense. One will have to do a 500m walk from Exhibition to get to the new OSC site.

By contract, it would be a less than 100m walk from Flemingdon Park station via the Ontario Line.

Overall it would be "easier" in sense to get to the new OSC by transit due to it's proximity to Union Station and the multiple connections available there, but the proximity factor to Exhibition is a problem. So in essence the last mile problem is an issue at Exhibition compared to Flemingdon, however there are increased connections available closer at Exhibition vs Flemingdon.
Agreed, I was thinking more of the multiplicity of transit options in the new location, but you are correct, it is a bit of walk. Would be nice to see solution for that.
 
Not to mention the pods look like they're being held up with fishing line in that render 🤣. And Doug was worried about the structural integrity of the old OSC LOL.
Wonder how it would compare to the old Science Centre and the heavy rainfall on May 23rd?
