THE HEADQUARTERS · TD BANK TOWER · 1967

Mies van der Rohe's black towers around a granite plaza

The Toronto-Dominion Centre began as a single-storey banking pavilion and two towers designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; the first, the 56-storey Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower, was completed in 1967. After Mies died in 1969, B+H Architects with John B. Parkin and Associates designed the later phases around the granite-paved pedestrian plaza, until the complex reached six towers of 22 to 56 floors in 1991. A decade-long restoration brought back the original matte black finish after two years of research, and the glass mosaic tiles in the lobby were removed, cleaned and reinstalled. Switching to Enwave's Deep Lake Water Cooling cut the complex's cooling energy by 90%.
