1962 – Former MTS Building, Empress Street, Winnipeg

Appropriately looking like a vast piece of electrical equiplent, this administration building for Manitoba Telephone System was designed to be extended. A H-plan, it was envisaged that another block would be added to finish as a H-plan. It accommodated the executive, accounting, operations, and engineering departments of the company, at one time it housed more than 730 telecom employees. Later renovated and converted into a hotel, branded as Clarion Hotel. Since closed, purchased and converted into Uquutaq Medical Boarding Home for the families of those visiting Winnipeg hospitals from the north.
