As part of the project, numerous exterior upgrades will be carried out, in addition to improving interior and site amenities.
The renovation will also include an expanded entry lobby and feature stair, as well as infrastructure improvements.
BioMed Realty Development vice-president Federico Mina said: “The use of virtual reality as a design tool was key to our decision to partner with AVRP Skyport. Our use of their technology so early in the development of the design was crucial to our understanding of the concept and influence and approval of the solution.”
Plans are currently underway for outdoor barbeque and gaming areas, food truck support, a new architecture façade treatment, an expanded two-storey entry lobby, conference centre, and gym.
