I think from McDonalds (ish). It took me a min bc Breithaupt St looks like a circular driveway for the building, and there's no room for that!

Yup, you're right.  I totally misremembered the massing of the addition for a second.

With the glazing now going up on the top floors, you can see the beginnings of the "creases" in the glass curtain wall. Should be interesting when it's all up.

Found a cool older picture from what looks like mid-renovations over at Ontario Heritage Trust, thought I'd share it:

I really like that crease in the glass that you can see in the photo. It looks even better in real life.

The angle/crease in the glass is starting to look very good now that more of the glass has been installed.

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.

The frame for the overhead passage between the "new" building and the rest of the complex is now in place.

Just realizing, they're getting this done just in time to be able to put the new Google logo on the building.

Looking good.  I like the two-tone dark brick with the glass.
