Bringing spaces to life East Village includes a long list of exciting development projects that CMLC played a key role in delivering. A recent example is the Platform Innovation Centre & Parkade a mixed-use building that combines seven storeys of parking for visitors to East Village and surrounding communitieswith50,000square feet of innovation space. That innovation space is home to Platform Calgary – a non-profit organization with a mandate to bring together the resources of Calgary’s tech ecosystem to help start-ups launch and develop. (Learn more at www. platformcalgary.com/). Balancing a present-day need for parking with a vision for a future that relies less on the use of personal vehicles, the multi-use building was designed with eventual conversion of the space into commercial and/or residential uses in mind. To accommodate future conversion, instead of traditional parkade ramps, a gently sloped slab winds all the way to the top of the structure, so each floor can be leveled OCTOBER 2022
