The office and laboratory complex was designed by B + H Architects. Check out the MaRS Phase 2 profile page on the firm’s website to view eight excellent renderings showing interior as well as exterior views of the tower. For those interested in in the actual building process, project coordinator Shalana Morton’s July 13 2012 post on the MaRS blog provides an interesting insight into the extent of collaboration required by the dozens of different construction subtrades involved in the building project, while her August 29 2012 post includes photos and information about the tower’s topping off.

Below are several photos showing my balcony view of the Phase 2 tower at sunset, along with some street-level pictures I shot recently. The MaRS Centre Phase 2 photo album on the torontoblog.com’s Facebook page includes dozens of pictures tracking the tower’s construction progress since 2008.
