The photo is looking south, mostly. The top floors of the Winspear performance hall itself are not connected to the admin offices on the east side, which is why there is a gap.

I wonder if the concert hall and the admin building were built together the same time and the reasoning behind leaving the gap there instead of an atrium or other concept. Anyone know if this was a single constructor build?

Both were built at the same time from what I remember. My guess is to maintain a complete noise separation

Photo from today, from inside the Art Gallery of Alberta. Not the greatest angle with the rooftop patio of the AGA visible in the foreground, but we can see there has been construction in the northwest corner of the site.

Looms like they are focusing on the utility side of the building, loading dock, new backstage door.

I think the first one might be outdated; wasn't the 2nd floor garden replaced with something at-grade?

@CplKlinger I think that the solutions have been batted around a bit now so TBH I am not sure what prevails and what doesn't (depends on whom you ask). The architect Andrew Bromberg believes these renderings reflect the current situation so it may be that Winspear has moved the needle once again -- it could support the pause in construction for that portion of the building. Perhaps @Avenuer can shed some light on the status from the City's perspective.

As someone who works in the building this part of the addition will greatly improve the loading dock area creating a similar space as the current primary loading dock at Rogers Place. Still trying to figure out where the new stage door/security checkpoint will be though.

Never much happening here whenever I pass by. Today, literally two guys hammering away.
