Their ideas will be on display tonight from 5 to 9 at ten thousand villages 134 Plaza or. Designing for another climate and culture was a Challenge said their professor Kelley Beaverford. She spent a month in Kateo last summer As a Volunteer with architects without Borders to consult with the Africa child foundation that wants to build the clinic. It would provide thousands of villagers with a place to go to get tested for his aids get Antoret Romiral medication if they test positive and treat childhood diseases said Beaverford. Health care is stretched thin in the Region said Beaverford. When people go to a clinic in Rural Uganda they end up waiting for hours. The clinic will see up to 250 people a Day Many of whom will be women each with seven or eight children she said. Instead of crowded indoor waiting rooms students incorporated More fresh air into their designs. Some designed waiting areas that look out onto the soccer pitch to help pass the time said Beaverford. The kids can kick around a Ball while their moms can watch them play. The climate a snot the Only Challenge she said. The Village were working in has no running water or electricity. That forced the design students to draw on All they ave Learned about sustainable design said Beaverford. Working in that situation its not a maybe its a must. They have to plan for proper circulation and maximize natural Light she said. Designing for another culture is really complicated she said. Ideally you travel to another country. Ism really Lucky we live in such a multicultural City. Theress such an amazing diversity of generous people.

Sanders free press. My. Ca by Bartley Kives a seven month Long Saga that pit the City against an Exchange District property owner is drawing to a close As mayor Sam katzes Cabinet approved a Deal to transform the 112 year old King building into a Parade and retail development. On wednesday councils executive policy committee voted to preserve the facades of the historic red Brick Structure at the Corner of King Street and Bannatyne Avenue by building a $ 7.4 million 186 stall Parade with Street level retail stores on the site As Well As a lot to the South. The vote ends a lengthy standoff Between the City and building owner Bedford investments which wanted to tear Down the King building earlier this year. The Deal Calls for Bedford to finance most of the project with the help of $ 500,000 from downtown development Agency Centre venture $ 800,000 in City property tax credits and $ 1.5 million in City Grants. The latter figure includes $ 700,000 in stabilization work already underway inside the once crumbling Structure which should be completely secure by the end of january. While the Deal still requires Council approval on oct. 19, Katz said he is Happy and relieved to see Council Centre venture and Bedford find a Way to save one of the Exchange districts most High profile facades. From my Point of View it was time to Stop talking and get the Deal done said Katz referring to a previous Parade plan that fell apart in August. This was a game of snakes and ladders. You get to the top and you keep sliding Down. Bedford investments director Ken Reiss said the ordeal was Tough for everybody involved but in the end the Exchange District will Benefit from badly needed new parking stalls. The Parade portion of the new development will be located behind and above a string of retail units along King Street according to architectural designs which also Call for the North and East facades of the building which face old Market Square to remain intact. Providing retail along with the parking is something that will Benefit the area As a whole said Reiss praising Centre venture pc and City staff.
