UW Pharmacy building, 2008
This building brought university students to downtown Kitchener for the first time, and filled in a long-dormant brownfield site at a critical location in downtown (King & Victoria). The first of the new wave of downtown construction (the city hall was 10 years earlier), it set the stage for projects such as 1 Victoria and City Centre, and complemented the recent Kaufman Lofts at the same intersection.
