I'm very cautious about these renders because we all know how Edmonton's brand-new battleship library turned out as compared to renders.
It was cost-cut over and over with cheaper materials and shortcuts until it looked like a 1980s corrugated brutalist metal mess. Finishes and materials are a big deal and we keep hearing that the Flames ownership is big on cost cutting and continues to push for cheaper and cheaper.
