I wonder what the different levels of light coming through the windows have on the look of the spaces on the inside and what the students and staff feel like with the odd shapes they have to look through. We have a few buses with translucent vinyl decorative wraps, partially covering some of the windows. I find them annoying, as I enjoy watching the scenes outside go by.
Best wishes for December.

I have similar doubts, Phil. The decorations on the windows seem to defeat the purpose of windows. The building is only open to students and staff, and the photos I have found of the interior seem idealized. If the idea is to reduce distraction from the city outside then using glass and then partially covering it up does not seem the best way to accomplish that. The photos of the interior also show rooms with very high ceilings that are not an effective use of space. This is what I call stunt architecture -- form without function.

A good capture of this cherrypicker being used to work on this rather unusual looking building, John.

I like all the different shapes on the windows and like Phil I wonder what it is like living behind them!

As you may have noticed in my reply to Phil, I share his doubts, Keith. I do agree with you, though, that the designs on the windows are interesting.

Toronto is full of stunt architecture, Keith. For example:
