Someone should get a shot, there are quite a few panels missing on the North facade now... it was quite visible from Bloor.

I'd take one but I don't think my BB would quite capture it.

The links you should have directed it to are this and this.

That is, the main photo page where you can comment on the photo, and the photographers photo stream page where you see thumbnails of their most recent uploads. You should also note the copyright data (lower right of the page), which will say whether it is © or Creative Commons.

Hahahah! Nice!

I think the NFL, RCMP, NBA and CIA also rent space up there.

Sure, who couldn't use thousands of 300 pound slabs of marble?

I can't believe how horrible that old marble looks. I never really noticed till seeing the close-ups.

This is a really cool project, I'm excited to see the results!

Now you see why this cladding needed to be replaced..... glass will be much easier to maintain, or at least, clean....

Once complete I can see more people wearing shades or sorts to protect their eyes from the bright white!

I think it will end up as a light blue or green colour, you can save your shades. Glass will be very modern.

The reclad will do this building some good. Glad it looks to be appropriate too. Not all buildings need to be shiny blue glass.
