The 440,000-square-metre-building (4,700,000 sq ft) was designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects & Griffiths Rankin Cook Architects; with Raymond Moriyama and Alex Rankin as the principal architect.
Stantec was contracted as the civil engineering consultant, whereas PCL Construction was contracted as the project's construction manager.
The cost to construct the building was approximately C$96 million.

Regeneration served as the primary theme for the architectural design team of the building, with the design intended to showcase war's impact on nature; and nature's ability to regrow and "regenerate" from war.
Tilted and jagged planes, along with roughhewn materials are used throughout the building in a form of "controlled imperfection," intended to create the impression of trauma and disequilibrium.
The building's massing largely remains low to the ground, with only the building's eastern portions only rising above the ground.
A significant portion of the building is made out of concrete, with 36,000 cubic metres (47,086 cu yd) of cast in place concrete used throughout the building; in addition to 3,750 tonnes of reinforced steel.
Many of the exterior and interior walls of the building are placed on a variety of angles, from 90 degrees to 31 degrees, with eight different angles in all used throughout the building.
