Governor General's Medals in Architecture - 2022 Recipient - 60_80 Atlantic Avenue

Occupancy: June 1, 2020
Construction Budget: $38 million

The project at 60_80 Atlantic Avenue is the adaptive re-use and expansion of a heritage structure into a mixed-use complex in the heart of Toronto’s Liberty Village. The 1898 brick building at 60 Atlantic, a former wine warehouse, has been repurposed into office and commercial space with universal accessibility. The adjoining five-storey office building at 80 Atlantic continues the narrative with a contemporary material palette, creating a public piazza between the two structures. 80 Atlantic is built with mass timber, a renewable material and carbon sink, for much of its structural framework.
