The Toronto Paramedics Multi-Service Station 02 is featured in an ArchDaily article by Nour Fakharany, titled “From Yakushima to Toronto: Architecture Now Highlights New Projects Shaping Hospitality, Public Life, and Infrastructure”—part of the curated “Architecture Now” series showcasing unbuilt projects from renowned architectural firms.

As cities and infrastructures evolve to meet shifting cultural, environmental, and social demands, new architectural projects are redefining how public spaces and civic institutions operate. The article spotlights projects that reflect how design is being used to adapt existing systems and landscapes to new forms of public life. 

Featured among Jean Nouvel’s Yakushima Island project, Rossetti and WSP’s renovation of Arthur Ashe Stadium, and Hollaway Studio’s redesign of LeShuttle’s UK and French terminals, Toronto Paramedics Multi-Service Station 02 is a 90,000-square-foot mass timber facility that will house the Toronto Paramedic Services Education and Development. The building is designed to achieve net zero energy performance. 

Defined by a sawtooth roof supporting photovoltaic panels, triple-glazed windows, and high-thermal-resistance walls, the project aims to fully offset its energy demand while reducing embodied carbon by 34 percent compared to steel construction. 

Organized around a skylit atrium, the station will combine logistics areas, classrooms, administrative spaces, and vehicle bays for 60 emergency vehicles, incorporating energy-saving vestibules, an all-electric mechanical system, and natural daylighting throughout. 

Completion is anticipated in early 2029.
