DIALOG
Big ideas need space – and DIALOG's design of the purpose-built life sciences lab Catalyst at 77 Wade delivers. Located in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood, Catalyst at 77 Wade is the city’s first life sciences lab built in over 20 years. Designed as the catalyst for research and innovation of the city’s growing science + technology precinct, it puts Canadian science on display. Last week, a special under-construction tour, hosted by Toronto Society of Architects, offered a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to design spaces that support innovative life sciences research and commercialization. The tour was led by DIALOG’s Jay Levine, Amrinder Gill, and Robert Mariani, P. Eng., along with Seeker Labs’ Cary Solomon. The facility features floor-to-ceiling glazing and open spaces that foster transparency and community connection. Its envelope brings natural light into the interior, with a striking façade of horizontal lines and subtle vertical elements. Coffeehouse-style workspaces overlooking a park and the Toronto Railpath corridor offer a warm, inviting atmosphere to traditional life science spaces.

Coal Harbour Phase 2 thoughtfully integrates a range of community amenities – including an elementary school, social housing, and child care – into a single mixed-use facility in the Marina Neighbourhood. Set to become BC’s first Passive House project of its kind, the development targets LEED Gold certification and aligns with Vancouver’s Zero Emissions Building Plan. Key sustainability features include: • High performance triple-glazed window system • High performance insulated pre-cast concrete wall panels • 50/50 Window/wall ratio • Horizontal fins for solar shading • Juliette balconies to minimize thermal bridging • High performance energy heat recovery units • Increased thermal performance for roof areas • Extensive green roofs and landscape roof decks City of Vancouver | The Haebler Group | Photo by Michael Elkan | Passive House Canada | Maison Passive Canada | #SocialHousing #PassiveHouse #SustainableDesign #CommunityArchitecture #VancouverArchitecture

🏢 Toronto's proposed Building Emissions Performance Standards bylaw will massively scale up building retrofits across the city as we improve existing buildings, for both residents and the climate. Is it possible to make these building upgrades and ensure the costs of retrofits aren't passed down to tenants? 𝐘𝐞𝐬, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬! We have best practices to draw from and many existing programs that the City can utilize. Ekaterina Tzekova, TAF's Director of Research and Innovation, examined dozens of policies from leaders across North America to present the best options for Toronto. Building retrofits deliver improved energy performance, utility cost savings, better thermal comfort, and cleaner indoor air quality for residents. For these benefits to be fully realized, we must support building owners with compliance while protecting affordability for residents.
