@JNO1 I found on GEC's website the Century Place renovation that I believe you were referring to -- https://gecarchitecture.com/projects/century-place-tower-redevelopment/ I have also contacted their office to see if they are interested in jointly pursuing the concept that I have outlined here for a new Provincial Family Law Centre -- we'll see where this leads.

NQC has given notice to the owners of the former A+B Sound Building on 106 Street and will be vacating at the end of 2024. At the same time, a lack of a new building to expand into has resulted in NQC's divestment from Centre 106 (the former A+B Sound building) to expand into the Intact Building on 108 street and Jasper Avenue. Plans call for additional classrooms, labs, support and amenity spaces, and some administrative offices in the building, which will open for classes in January 2025. Total lease is 63,100 SF with an option to extend into an additional floor making the total 84,500 sf if they take the option. (Centre 106 was ~47,000 sf) Construction in the Intact Building is underway currently. NorQuest won't be able to get out of the leases until new owned-space is built on campus, as the Downtown Campus is designed to accommodate ~5,000 FLEs. They are currently at nearly 11,000. Bursting.

NorQuest is nearly complete with the construction of the first three (of four) floors in the Intact Building (called Jasper Avenue Tower on campus). Staff offices and classrooms will be operational in January 2025. This Downtown Campus extension to Jasper Ave is considered a bridging strategy to manage existing growth until the college can build its own purpose-built space on the 108 street block between 102 and 103 Avenues. The interior of this space is modelled after the design and theme of the current interiors in the Singhmar Centre for Learning (SCFL) and Civic Employees Legacy Tower (CELT).

I did some design consulting for the owner on this sweet little 16 story project in Singapore with a variety of two story interconnected floor layouts and balconies:
