The TELUS Tower at 25 York is a world class centre that creates long-term value in Ontario, uniting the Science Centre and Royal Conservatory of Music in a new venue with a new corporate office for TELUS. The ground floor design features a fully contiguous 30’-0” clear-height space astride the newly created Union Square. Coupled with the branded Hosting and Innovation Centres, TELUS has a massive opportunity to engage and communicate with the public, while informing the public zones and overall architecture. The 30-storey, 780,000 s.f. tower directly accesses the Air Canada Centre galleria and Union Station, pushing forward the evolution of a vibrant business district south of Union Station along Toronto’s skyline. The building is a technology showcase, reflecting the TELUS brand that supports a high-quality working environment for their team. One of the biggest drivers was human comfort, and the building houses an advanced heating and cooling system delivered via a raised-floor distribution network, floor-to-ceiling crystal-clear glazing for more natural light penetration into the workplace environment, high-performance windows , and high-efficiency lighting systems. With additional features such as a rainwater cistern for grey-water use and a minimum of 50% of construction waste diversion, TELUS Tower is designed to meet LEED Gold core and shell gold standards and sets new office space benchmarks for environmental responsibility.
