Evergreen Brick Works (main image) was officially opened in September 2010 as Canada’s first community environmental center and is designed to become LEED-Platinum certified, and (inset) former state of the site’s 16 historic factory buildings. The buildings – a collection of brick structures from the early 1900s and industrial sheds from the 1950s – have been revitalized through a process called “adaptive re-use.”
