C.2 Winspear Project (Development Permit)
Joe Tkalcic - Stantec
Motion of support with conditions
The Committee recommends the following:
● Ensuring the outdoor daycare space maximizes visibility, and that the design and
materiality of the enclosure is harmonious with the building architecture.
● Exploring year-round programming of the terrace, and the incorporation of high
quality finishes and materials in the space (eg. soffit panel) which are harmonious
with the building and extend the interior design into the landscape.
● Giving additional consideration to streetscape development as well as the plaza at
the SE corner of the building, to enhance the pedestrian environment, encourage
activation and define key entrances / exits to the building.
● Giving further consideration of how street level programming can maximize
opportunities to animate 97 street - at all hours. In addition, stronger definition of
the main building entrance off 97 Street is needed.
● Improving the urban condition and interface of the district energy centre with
102A Avenue - both the north facade and the street-level interface. The
Committee understands that this component of the proposal is part of Phase 2; and
the Committee therefore recommends that this second phase be reviewed by EDC
at the appropriate time.
