The rising curve on the Crescent

Under a tremendously azure blue sky, I took a walk around the site to snap some new photos.

How does one curve a building? Eastern's project manager Dean Walker says "It's a combination of curved materials to form slab edges and then segmented construction. The building will be curved, but none of the glass on this building is curved."

And here's another example of engineering finesse., looking north to the construction site from Hoskins Avenue. "The cantilevered portion of the building is supported by caisson foundations," explains Walker, "and heavy steel trusses." Can't wait to see the landscape design come to life under the cantilever and add to the natural beauty of Philosopher's Walk.

Old and new, Crescent Wing and Flavelle House. Our new facility will soon add to the structural gems in the Avenue Road and Bloor southwest quadrant, stay tuned!
