New Terminal Construction

Toronto, Ontario

Site Visit March 2002

Background: The images contained on this site were taken during a site visit, arranged through the courtesy of the Steel Structures Education Foundation during the SSEF Architectural and Engineering Educators Meeting in March 2002.

The Project Status: At the point of this visit the temporary central steel bracing structure had long since been removed and the interior floors erected. Glazing of the main terminal building was nearing completion -- absorbing changes imposed from post September 11 safety criteria that required the use of blast proof glazing. The erection of the control tower was just about to proceed. Time around 5:30 p.m.
