Surrounding Toronto’s City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square serves as the city’s premier civic space. Complete with a reflecting pool, peace garden, sculpture court, playground, permanent stage, and winter ice rink, the revitalization of the square created a robust landscape that is both economically and ecologically sustainable. Phase one transformed the bleak Podium into a park so versatile, resilient, and hospitable that its aesthetic appeal has no “off” season. With 40,000 sq. ft. of vegetation, it has become Canada’s largest publicly accessible green roof garden.
Symtech was involved in the project’s two phases. During the first phase, our team was responsible for upgrading the power distribution throughout the expanded Square and adding a new skating kiosk. Over the second phase of the revitalization, Symtech added the theatre and Peace Fountain, along with the dynamic power that changes with the square’s various events.
