A pair of flat-top concrete pyramids designed by New York City–based architecture firm Weiss/Manfredi now anoint the entrance to Toronto’s Queen’s Park. Known as the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Center (SRIC), the new structure will serve as a technology and artificial intelligence incubator for the University of Toronto, connecting students and researchers to local start-ups and corporations. To bring light down to the street level, Weiss/Manfredi designed a sloped facade for the SRIC and clad the building in white-colored precast concrete, brightening its appearance.
