The Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) has given a 2010 Landmark Award to Toronto’s Queen’s Quay Terminal. This vibrant mixed-use waterfront development was a long-derelict warehouse, which in 1983, was converted to retail space, restaurants, offices, a performing arts venue and rooftop apartments.
Halcrow Yolles provided structural engineering services for the terminal, including the design of a dramatic eight-storey atrium which creates a visual link to the water and bathes the area in natural light.
The OAA’s Landmark Award recognises a project built prior to 1985 that demonstrates architecture’s beauty, endurance and lasting contribution to the community.
