The Singhmar Centre was designed by Dialog.

LOL, you do you, archited. Have a great weekend!

Sorry archited, not trying to piss you off, and didn't intend to - but I stand by my statement. It's not rooted in negativty either, just realism and precedence. Have heard down the grapevine it may be scaled down a bit... but I suppose we shall see in the end. You can be 'progressive' on here...

I never suggested the quality of the architecture would be less; I'm only estimating that the scale will likely be smaller and Entuitive should have properly annotated where that rendering came from to give people context. I have zero problem with the pragmatism/optimism of the share, however...

Hate to be a killjoy, but I doubt the CSC ends up as that. The final product will likely be scaled down in size and look different from that rendering. I do love that rendering though; it's just a really, really early conceptualized form of that building for visual purposes only. I wish...

Seen some early conceptual renderings, this one is gonna be fun.

I do know that the CSC will have a major fitness component to it, so retaining the Champs site for that reason is unlikely.

Agreed 100%. Truer words haven't been spoken. I will say though, there are some exceptions in special cases. P3's, for example - usually the bridging architect will design the building or infrastructure (usually before the P3 is released through a separate contract); and then the architect that...

Originally this was the plan; but schedules and budgets and objectives change unfortunately as time goes on. Regardless, I still think these next West Block phases will turn out much better than the images suggest.

If the final design is something other than yellow, I suppose it could be renamed to the 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter(Dome)'

I've heard different; pretty sure that EFG work was just a one-off concept being reviewed in 2023, and not the actual project going forward.

You got it... and the prime consultant RFP is now out for this one.

I'd like to to hear where Global got that estimate. If it's directly from the City, that sounds more like the idealistic amount needed for a perfect renovation to be completed (such as what was proposed during the FIFA bid), not necessarily where the current (and realistic/more modest)...

$180M is nothing these days for stadium renovations either. Realistically, Commonwealth needs about $350-500 million of renovations to bring it up to the same quality standards as American or European facilities. Canada just doesn't really have the same interest, focus or priority on stadia as...
