I don't suppose you're trying to hint at the engineering complex, are you? No need to be secretive, the plans are public.

I'm f'ing glad the Herald Building is coming down, and same with the parkade next to it. I love new buildings, and new development. As technologies evolve, so should our buildings. LEED Certification will soon be standard for every building from here on in, and it's extremely difficult to get older buildings LEED-accredited; easier to start from scratch.
LOL, don't get me started on LEED. The first 'E' is for 'energy', and believe me most LEED projects aren't any more energy efficient than their non-certified contemporaries...
