As part of Canadian Architect’s Pandemic Effect series, ERA Architects’ Ya’el Santopinto and Graeme Stewart wrote about how the current pandemic is shining a light on the importance of prioritizing the retrofitting of existing mid-century towers. <\/p>\n

“Canada\u2019s affordable apartment towers are the backbone of its purpose-built rental housing system, representing more than half of all high-rise units in the nation. Legacies of the post-war apartment housing boom <\/span>of the 1960s and 70s, many of these buildings are now a half-century<\/span> old and in need of critical repair. Months of sheltering in place due to <\/span>COVID<\/span>-19 have underscored the inequities of the housing system, and the acute challenges in upgrading this stock are more visible than ever.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
