They aren't replacing the roof. I think the shiny strips are new reinforcing for the existing roof - they weren't there when the tar paper, etc. was removed.

Pic by me today - 2nd atrium being opened up.
Not sure what the openings at the bottom of the pic are for.

WE HAVE GLASS (and a wide fin)-
and it's pretty sweet looking glass (seems quite reflective, though there is some distortion).

Pics by me this morning - hopefully more will be up by this afternoon.

Very nice glass! I think once there is more up it probably won't seem to distorted.

They've cut the opening in the floor at Robson and Granville for the escalator entry into the extension of the mall on the lower level.

Is it only the office levels that have the reflective glass or is it consistent throughout?
