My guess is that they would add windows, perhaps fitting the theme of the Kitchener Heath Science Campus on King and Victoria, or the recent renovations to Sun Life (the old King Centre). Perhaps some coloured siding as well.
Noooooo, don't ruin the wonderful brutalism!
Well, that's the conundrum. My understanding is that the building is well regarded for its architecture. I'm not sure how to balance that with public perceptions of WRPS (one is not expecting a warm hug, but still....). Although, as I said before, it may not even be an issue. Heck, even refreshed landscaping will help.
Although additional windows might be good, I''m pretty sure I wouldn't be advocating for "coloured siding" (perhaps that was intended to be tongue in cheek?).
