Have to retain it, that's where a fare amount of Mechanical is. The Main Mechanical room is below a bit in that general area.

Interesting for I swear I was told it was going, going, gone.

What was wrong with the old canopy?

I didn't see anything particularly wrong with it, the new one might be a touch simpler and raised up higher which gives a more open look but doesn't protect from the elements as effectively.

 

[Airboy]

If they are removing it, they are going about it a little differently. Looks like they are redoing the roof. But why would they demo the building with no back up mechanical room.

The Kitchen Ventilation is out at the Loading dock. But the main HVAC is right there.

From late last week. Glazing on the north face looks close to being finished.

I really like this "piece". Nice greeting when you enter through the main Jasper Ave. entrance.

The small living wall right across from
Hall D is great as well.

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Hmmm, well it looks nice.

Was there a particular reason why they felt a roof was not needed at the front door?

 

[archited]

Not finished yet.

^

this is edmonton - will it ever be finished?

my biggest question is why this wasn’t coordinated with the jasper avenue/hall d roof construction…

 

[Airboy]

The structural work may start in the next few weeks. Since the glazing is complete. There is a lot of work going on right now reroofing the mechanical room roof around the cooling tower. Lots of workers on site today.

 

[Airboy]

Well the main steel is up. And the Mechanical room upgrades is still going on. They delivered a lot of stainless steel boiler venting last week.

This image reminds me of how much of a wasted opportunity this was to not develop the fantastic Hall D, WHILE creating an 'urban patio' above, at grade and for all to enjoy,

 

[Airboy]

i just remember the early years when taste of Edmonton used the various terraces. That was a great way to use an urban space.

 

[Didama]

That Hall D roof sure is a waste of space. Why on earth they wouldn't have turned that into a roof top terrace, garden or other usable area is beyond me. It only has the best view in town.

Back when it was approved and contructed, city council's big idea was to D R E A M instead...

 

[Gronk!]

Hall D is what prompted Stephen Mandel's "no more crap" mandate as Mayor of Edmonton. A pity that his successors have ignored this.
