A milestone achievement, the Discovery Centre serves as an architectural landmark for the local community and future homeowners to discover and engage with Lakeview Village

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lakeview Community Partners Limited (LCPL), the developers behind Lakeview Village, a vibrant mixed-use waterfront community being built on a 177-acre brownfield site along Mississauga’s waterfront, celebrated the launch of the Discovery Centre on April 7, 2022, with its doors officially opening to the public on April 18, 2022. The first completed building on the Lakeview Village site, the Discovery Centre is a local architectural landmark that will be used as a community destination, sales centre and hub for local artists, events and exhibitions.

Designed by Q4 Architects with interior by II BY IV Design, the Discovery Centre’s modern, open and contemporary feel beautifully captures the intersection of meaningful community connection and sustainable development, reflecting the guiding principles behind Lakeview Village.

“We are incredibly excited to officially open the doors to the Discovery Centre and welcome visitors to come and experience the scale of the Lakeview Village project and the vision behind its master plan,” said Fabio Mazzocco, President of Argo Development Corporation and Lakeview Community Partners. “Throughout the Discovery Centre, we have thoughtfully incorporated the defining elements that characterize Lakeview Village – sustainability, modern architecture, the arts, culture and open gathering space – all driven by the powerful influence of re-establishing a connection to the waterfront.”

A PLACE OF CONNECTION AND DISCOVERY

The Discovery Centre, which has been meaningfully built with the community in mind, will serve as an immersive and interactive central gathering place for visitors to discover all aspects behind the Lakeview Village project, from design, public art and construction to technology and sustainability. Each of these characteristics have been thoughtfully incorporated through forward-thinking design elements which emphasize a connection to nature and the site’s natural heritage.

A place of connection and discovery, the Discovery Centre is also a gateway to the larger Lakeview Village site – a network of walkable trails and cycling routes, a new recreational field, a seasonal art trail featuring commissioned works by local artists and stunning waterfront views.

THE BUILDING

The first floor is dedicated to builder exhibitions, creating a digitally immersive sales experience that unites the Phase 1 Builders, Branthaven, Caivan, Greenpark Group, DECO, Opus Homes, and Tridel to showcase prospective homeowners a diverse range of offerings, complete with floral installations, a wrap-around living green wall and anchored by a large, scaled model of Lakeview Village, one of Canada’s largest, most interactive and dynamic model developments.

On the second floor, visitors can take in scenic views of the waterfront, the green roof, living green walls and digital murals via the large screens in the lobby. An outdoor courtyard serves as additional space for community gatherings, musical events and art exhibitions hosted by Lakeview Village’s resident artists.

INNOVATION: FROM AN INDUSTRIAL PAST TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Sustainability, innovation and environmental stewardship are at the core of Lakeview Village. Designed with these principles in mind, the Discovery Centre brings nature indoors through a number of features to encourage authentic, meaningful connections to the environment and future Lakeview Village community:

• Green Roof: A thriving ecosystem of over 1500 native plants from 30 different species, the roof is made of 100% recycled materials and provides a refuge and habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies while enhancing biodiversity, stormwater management, and acting as a seed orchard for future green roof projects.
• Living Wall: A wrap-around green wall featuring a diverse ecosystem with over 20 different plant species augments the building’s interior, drawing on the tenets of biophilic design while improving air quality increasing humidity, to provide a more comfortable indoor environment.
• 4 Sisters: Reflecting the site’s transformation, the centre reimagines the land’s former occupant, a coal-burning powerplant known as the ‘Four Sisters Smokestacks,” as four large windows, drawing light into the space during the day and framing the building at night.
• Sage Glass: Advanced glass technology used to optimize daylight, manage heat and reduce energy consumption while maintaining panoramic views of the surrounding area, the glass, doors and railings have also been glazed with bird-friendly film to mitigate day and nighttime collisions while making the building less dangerous to migratory birds.

A HOME FOR ARTS AND CULTURE

As part of LCPL’s vision and commitment to transforming Mississauga’s waterfront, the developers launched a partnership with Artscape Atelier in 2020 and have commissioned a variety of public art to animate the site throughout the construction phase while creating opportunities for artists to meaningfully participate in community-building.

In addition to existing artwork across the development site, the Discovery Centre features an array of new, interactive work by local contemporary artists:

• “Composition for Wind” is a 25-foot, kinetic cloud sculpture created by Brad Hindson and Michael Simon of Studio F Minus that explores the multifaceted relationship between humans and the natural world, integrating themes of connection, collaboration, and transformation.
• “A Walk in Nature” is an interior, aerial floral installation by Natalie Schiabel, inspired by the complex ecosystems and native flora and mosses in Mississauga.
• A digital, rotating exhibit in the lobby features a collection of artworks by four artists:
  • “Le Jardin de Tous” Everyone’s Garden, Jacqueline Mak
  • “Niña’s Lake Forest” by Soon Cho
  • “Here and Now” by Meaghan Ogilvie
  • “Our Neighbour – the waters of Lake Ontario” by Erin FitzGibbon

“The completion of the Discovery Centre marks the culmination of years of incredible, collaborative work and visionary planning, and reveals what’s in store for Lakeview Village,” said Brian Sutherland, Vice-President of Development, Argo Development Corporation and development lead for Lakeview Village. “Together, we are bringing Canada’s most transformative waterfront community to the shores of Lake Ontario, and we are honoured to invite you all to come and experience it.”

Tech-enabled hospitality provider to phase out single-use plastic amenities by EOY 2022

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sonder Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: SOND), a leading next-generation hospitality company that is redefining the guest experience through technology and design, is eliminating single-use plastic amenities in all of its guest-facing units no later than Dec. 31, 2022.

Sonder expects this commitment will eliminate approximately 1.6 million single-use plastic amenity items (~6,700 kg) annually in its North American operations alone by making supply chain changes, sourcing exclusively from suppliers with sustainable packaging. Guest amenity items that will be eliminated or shifted to more sustainable or reusable sources include bottled water, disposable cups, toiletry bottles, packaged coffee, packaged foods/drinks/condiments, straws, and stirrers.

“We’re implementing this responsible business practice early to proactively keep our environmental impact low. Removing single-use plastic amenities in all guest units across our global portfolio aligns with our mission to revolutionize hospitality and deliver what the modern traveler demands. It also makes good business sense, driving long-term efficiencies and savings for our operations,” said Francis Davidson, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sonder. “We’ve carefully selected amenities that provide the same quality to our guests with less waste.”

Sonder is rolling out luxurious toiletries by Davines, a certified B Corp luxury beauty brand in Parma, Italy that strives to place social and environmental sustainability at the core of its ethos. Shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner will be provided in wall-mounted, refillable dispensers, while soap bars and body lotion will be provided in paper and aluminum packaging, free from single-use plastic. The amenities are from Davines’ Essential Haircare DEDE range, formulated with red celery extract from a Slow Food Presidium farm in Italy to safeguard biodiversity and are exclusive to Sonder in the hospitality space.

For coffee packets, Sonder worked with its existing gourmet coffee supplier Metropolis Coffee Company to develop home compostable and BPI certified packaging. The new coffee pods are tailored to Sonder’s requirements to eliminate both single-use plastic and metal foil, and where ground coffee is provided, it is in compostable bags. In addition, Metropolis has a commitment to sustainability and community support, with every bag of coffee being traceable back to the farm from which it came.

Sonder’s elimination of single-use plastic amenities in all of its guest-facing units by the end of 2022 is part of its wider sustainability commitments under the company’s People, Place & Planet framework, including commitments to optimize energy consumption.
