Mall Retail (Cambridge Centre, Conestoga, Fairview)
(02-12-2018, 02:03 PM)nms Wrote: The fire code and/or other building codes will often be a problem.  For the mall to movie theatre connection, there may also be the issue that the fire department would want to be able to get all the way around the building in the event of an emergency.  On a related note, when I took a look at Conestoga Mall in air photos, there is a very impressive solar array on top of the Zehrs.

I expect that with respect to the University of Waterloo, an internal bus waiting area will evolve when the new transit terminal is developed on the east end of campus.

I will be very surprised if we have anything more than an insufficient number of bus shelters at the new terminal. If we have covered areas comparable to the LRT stations I’ll be pleasantly surprised once I recover from the shock. Of course, what I think we really should do is plan a campus building integrated with the bus terminal (and should have done that with the LRT station too).

Campus is getting pretty well-connected these days, after at least 20 years of a policy of actually linking our buildings together. That policy replaced an earlier (apparent de facto) policy of letting each architect do whatever they wanted without regard for the setting, leading to several absurd situations where buildings faced away from each other or had a 6m gap between them.
