Several awards and accolades have been bestowed upon the NORR and EllisDon teams in recognition of their work on the new Exhibition Place Sky Bridge from ndpetrify4's blog

For the purpose of connecting the Beanfield Centre and the Hotel X Toronto, a glass-enclosed walkway is being constructed that will run the entire length of the building. It runs east-west on a slight slant across Newfoundland Road between the Princes' Boulevard and Lake Shore Boulevard West, connecting the Beanfield Centre and Hotel X Toronto's mid-block conference levels between the two avenues. It is located in the area between the Princes' Boulevard and Lake Shore Boulevard West. It can be found on the west side of the street between Princes' Boulevard and Lake Shore Boulevard West, between the two major thoroughfares in the city.

An announcement made recently stated that the design by NORR Architects and construction by EllisDon will include an insulated glass panels  wrapping that will surround the architectural exposed steel framework on the exterior, in addition to an exterior three-color interlayered film on the outside. To reduce solar heat gain and to prevent birds from colliding with the insulated glass that runs from floor to ceiling on both sides of the bridge, colored five-millimetre dot patterns have been installed along the entire bridge's length on both sides. The dots are five millimetres in diameter and are five millimetres apart.

A pedestrian walkway with a length of 36.3 metres and a surface area of 110 square metres covers an area of 36.3 metres and has a length of 36.3 metres.  It has a surface area of 110 square metres and a length of 36.3 metres. Cladding and soffit for the building's eaves and fascia are made of natural limestone panels laminated to an aluminum honeycomb core, which are used throughout the structure's exterior as cladding and soffit throughout the building's exterior.

Silvio Baldassarra, principal of NORR Architects and Engineers, stated in an interview with the New York Times that the Sky Bridge is the culmination of three projects that have spanned more than a decade and that it serves as a critical link between a historic and new structure by using an inconspicuous, light, and transparent design to connect the two structures together. Baldassarra praised the Sky Bridge, saying, "It's a beautiful bridge."According to Baldassarra, it has taken more than a decade for three projects to come to fruition, with the Sky Bridge serving as the culmination of those efforts. We believe that our clients' commitment to a long-term vision and dedication to the project serves as the foundation for excellent buildings and structures of the highest quality in the world. In this way, it appears as if the walkway's floor and roof girders, columns, and rod braces are all connected together to form an enormous vertical truss that can withstand the pressures of people passing through it on all sides and at all times. In order to withstand lateral loads, it is possible to construct moment frames in the transverse direction by employing columns and transverse roof beams. For the purpose of supporting wind loads, the in-place braces, floor and roof girders, and transverse beams all act as horizontal trusses, which are in turn supported by the transverse beams themselves, as illustrated in the illustration below.

As the walkway is constructed, the existing structure of Hotel X Toronto, as well as a central pier, will provide structural support at various points along its length. It was designed in collaboration with structural engineers to provide increased capacity at the Hotel X Toronto's connection point in preparation for a connection to an elevated pedestrian walkway, which will be built later. An 18-foot-long cantilever extends from the opposite end of the bridge in the direction of Beanfield Center, and it is not structurally connected to any other part of the bridge's structure. The use of a delicate connection to minimize the impact on the historic structure is possible when the bridge is being used as a temporary solution, and the connection can be quickly and easily reversed if the situation changes.
