Downtown's hillside/stairs around 102-103st is my guess.

Haha, picture 3 (approx). That's a great area.
The staircase takes you down to the Kâhasinîskâk pedestrian bridge to Gallegar park. Oh so scenic!

^^ ^^^ no lollypops for you guys!

I saw that, was hoping to see more of the building from the rear and any other interior renders :/

Same here; I really hope that they preserved historical aspects of the interior. It'd be a shame if the outer shell became the building's only link with its past.

If those stairs could talk...

The number of times that I lined up/stepped up to convince a football or rugby player from our faculty to let me in to get ahold of a $1.85 Beam and coke slush or a $6 pitcher of Grasshopper...

Good times.

...and don't get me started about Inga's night out.

MOOSE!

I never would have guessed in a million years this angle. @Kaizen @Platinum107 but makes sense with the two bridges

I'm glad to see that they're trying to maintain the historical character of the interior (or at least parts of it). I still worry about the beautiful lobby that @_Citizen_Dane_ shared a picture of. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll be preserved.

I'd give my eye teeth to be able to check this out in person when finished.

I think the only part I'm disappointed in is the fact that they didn't take the opportunity to somehow link this building with the Rutherford library or a direct link to the LRT station or both.

^ Rutherford had some renos done maybe a year or two prior to this kicking off where they removed the turnstile entrance on the second floor of Rutherford North in the SW corner. Not sure what they did with that space because there wasn't really anything there last I saw. Would have made a pretty good spot to connect a pedway to the NE corner of DentPharm. I wonder if that was ever in their cards, wasn't really sure why they removed that second entrance otherwise.

I'd love to see this building close up. I think that glass glazing might look really good but hard to see from here.
