Then, scrap that idea but incorporate a map of the area on the facade which didn't look great, but still looked like someting. Then: throw that idea in the garbage, then make the architects redesign the building using only coldest, most sterile grey pre-cast concrete panels so that the tower looks like a vertical maximum security prison. Lastly, rename it after an archaic vacuum cleaner brand originally owned by Americans, but now owned by one of the richest billionaires in communist China.
I love Waterloo Region so much lmfao.
Founded in Detroit by a Canadian, in fact. Those who know Kitchener understand the pride that is taken in its industrial history, including that of Onward Mfg. Personally, I think that "The Onward" would have been a good name, but they might have encountered issues since the company still exists.
