CreateTO works with Infrastructure Institute at the School of Cities, University of Toronto to find new and innovative solutions on co-locating emergency service facilities in mixed-use buildings and the use of public sector real estate. We’re happy to share that a panel exhibit that highlights Toronto as a leader in the implementation of mixed-use buildings is currently on display at Metro Hall by the Infrastructure Institute, School of Cities.
In this display, there are five mixed-use proposals that bring together public, private and non-profit uses in creative ways, one of which we’ve partnered with the Infrastructure Institute on for Fire Station 313, located at 441 Bloor Street East, to explore co-location of additional uses, including housing and community services.
The exhibit will be on display in Metro Hall until Friday, February 2, 2024. If you don't have an opportunity to check it out, there are also details available online here.
