Rich in medical history - one of the discovery sites of insulin and heparin - the elegant Heritage Building will be the heart of the MaRS Centre. Five metre high ceilings, restored historical details and a spacious atrium structure will create an impressive entrance and reception area. The linear, glass-topped galleria will be the link to all adjoining buildings and infuse natural light throughout the building.

The four stories available for office space are ideal for small to medium-sized companies who will enjoy airy, loft-like space with exposed brick and hardwood floors.

Originally opened in 1913 as a part of the Toronto General Hospial, designed by Darling & Pearson.
