Before

At Now Reno, we’re proud to showcase our work on the comprehensive renovation of the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation’s office space, located on the fourth floor of 700 University Avenue in Toronto. This significant project transformed approximately 50,000 square feet into a modern, flexible, and sustainable workplace that supports the Foundation’s mission and daily operations.

• Client: Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation
• Location: 700 University Avenue, 4th Floor, Toronto, Ontario
• Project Size: Approximately 50,000 sq. ft.
• Type: Commercial, Healthcare, Sustainable Renovation

This renovation included a wide range of services and specialty installations. The project team, including The JesslIn Group and Now Reno, collaborated to complete critical scopes such as:

• Mechanical systems
• Electrical systems
• Audio-Visual (AV) infrastructure
• Technology and IT integration
• Bathroom renovations

This newly renovated space includes several unique design and functional elements:

• A striking moss wall in the reception area adds a touch of nature and visual interest, creating a calming atmosphere for staff and visitors.
  

• A dedicated fitness center featuring modern equipment and a contemporary shower room promotes employee wellness and work-life balance.
  

• Movable walls allow the office to adapt quickly to various needs, from private meetings to collaborative sessions or large events.
  

• A welcoming café area includes a fully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances, serving as a vibrant hub for social interactions.
  

As part of this project, Now Reno was responsible for renovating the bathrooms throughout the office space. These updated facilities feature:

• Contemporary fixtures and finishes
• Durable and hygienic materials suitable for a high-traffic environment
• Modern tilework and partitions
• Energy-efficient lighting and water-saving fixtures

Our goal was to ensure that the bathrooms matched the modern aesthetic of the overall space while delivering functionality and comfort for daily use.

Beyond these standout features, the redesigned floor plan includes:

• Large conference rooms for strategic meetings
• Shared offices to encourage teamwork
• Private meeting rooms for focused discussions
• A dedicated lab room
• Updated washroom facilities with high-quality finishes

A project of this scale required close coordination with various stakeholders, including:

• Furniture vendors
• UHN IT department
• Moving and logistics teams

Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, our team implemented effective health protocols and a detailed schedule. Thanks to proactive planning and strong collaboration, the project was delivered without delays or additional costs to the client.
