8 Spadina Reclaimed Wood - The Well

Site Reclaimed Wood

Site Reclaimed Wood

Take a seat and be transported to our past – Toronto-based furniture designer, Brothers Dressler, repurposed our salvaged timber into modern-day sculptures.

The next time you pass by and admire the sculptural seating within the lobby, you will have a new appreciation for their beauty. You see, all of the wood is made of Douglas-Fir which was salvaged from the former Globe and Mail buildings that occupied this site.

Smart & Sustainable

In fact, The Well will feature salvaged wood from the timbers of these buildings throughout the entire campus in various thoughtful reinterpretations through skilled craftsmanship. From timber-lined bridges to retail soffits to boardroom tables to room dividers, this material from our past will once again grace us while offering function, beauty and a story.
