Some of the Mickey MacDonald interviews about this talk it up a fair amount with claims that this will be an architectural landmark, will have a $100M budget, an atrium component, etc. I still have little idea what it will look like but it could in principle be a big upgrade if it's designed well.
I also like the idea of breaking up the facade and an atrium could work well with that. It'll be interesting to see what kind of interior public space it provides and how the atrium design if that happens interacts with outside. In Halifax I think there's sometimes too hard of a distinction between outdoor and indoor spaces. It would be nice to have bright but sheltered spaces that are not climate controlled. Sort of along the lines of the Rogers covered street thing but less cave-like.
