Agreed. We just need to be VERY careful with this I think.
The NAC is a gem of its era, and must be preserved. However, that shouldn't stop us from enhancing it, and correcting the anti-urban bias of the building.
I didn't realize that the Elgin frontages had a commercial element at some point? I would love to see that re-introduced, especially with the street frontage stores in the new Finance building across the street, they could be successful, especially with the LRT station right there.
I would also love to see a large atrium that could be used as a venue for performances as well as official functions on the northern portion of the site, attached to the LRT station entrance. I would say this would be better official greeting centre than the former US Embassy, as currently envisioned by the feds.
