The Terrace Building
Overview
Internationally recognized for its design, the Terrace is a multi-tenant, state-of-the-art information technology building. It is one of the most energy efficient buildings in Canada and was completed years before sustainable design became adopted in the industry. The project set a precedent for sustainability and has influenced the design of a number of buildings.
The rotunda is capped with a 10 metre round skylight which acts as a solar ‘chimney’. The space is very popular for events which demonstrates the flexibility and resiliency of the design.
