My City Day 98 Postcard 32

The MaRS Building...taken on a VERY COLD day in Toronto:-)

The Heritage Building is contained within the original brick façade of the old Toronto General Hospital (TGH) and anchors the MaRS Centre. TGH occupies a unique place in Canadian history. It was the birthplace of insulin, heparin and other life-saving technologies ? such as the artificial kidney and pacemaker ? as well as many pioneering surgical techniques. The elegant 100,000-square-foot (9,300 m2) building has five-metre high ceilings, restored historical details and an impressive entrance and reception area. Tenants in the Heritage Building range from professional services and law firms to industry associations, multinational pharmaceutical companies, regional innovation networks and the satellite office of a leading Ontario research university. In 2006, the MaRS Centre received the Heritage Toronto Award of Excellence for Architectural Conservation and Craftsmanship.
