i wish they would have closed it and added a few floors to the tower...it wouldnt be so stumpy then.

I wouild imagine they will keep a few of the current sites, as some of them also double as compounds for Hydro vehicles and large electrical equipment, as well of mechanical buildings and warehouses. I would think they will keep at least 3 of these compound/sites, maybe more. It must be realized that Hydro is not just a simple office operation. They do require alot of space, which can't be contained in a office building. The Nortre Dame site alone contains warehouses for a variety of things including christmas lights, a paint shop (those large electrical boxes don't come green) .. hazmat material, vehicle washing equipment in a heated warehouse, an electrical lab building and acres of space of large wire spools and other very large components. There is also a similar site in the south end of the city, which is even larger. I am sure they will sell of a few of the less important locations, but Hydro will always have a significant presence outside of downtown.
As for the printshop... called the production room, which is currently in the basement of Taylor, may not have made a great resident of the new tower, as it uses some temperature sensitive equipment and also produces alot of fumes, which wouldn't work well in a buildings which cycles its air. I have also been told the executive offices will be staying at Taylor Ave.
