I do like the black wave and the glass facade along the bottom, though. The black wave will probably be clad with matte black aluminum panels, similarly to Scotiabank Arena.
Two solutions were identified in 2016's FirstOntario Centre - Arena Renovation Study:

Option 1: replace existing cladding on York Blvd. and Bay Street sides only with new insulated metal panel system. Allow for custom colours as selected by Architect.

Option 2: replace existing cladding for entire façade with new metal panel system and Lucabond fascias as per exterior rendering and drawings. Allow for custom colours as selected by Architect.


In either case, it doesn't appear to have been included in the partial renovation.
