I think a smarter plan would be to downsize and keep it tight - but - I guess CORUS thinks they are going to skate through this Economic turbulence. I wonder.

Staffers of the Calgary Corus cluster had to work in terrible conditions after the flooding -- they were moved into temporary facilities slapped together in a matter of weeks . I don't know how they did it -- just plain awful facilities for the last several years ! Extremely high leasing rates at the Eau Claire district ( where the temp studios were ) as well as very limited and extremely expensive parking were some of the main reasons for the decision to build new studios. The former CFAC site was picked because its half a block from an LRT station making it very convenient for staff to use the transit system .It doesn't matter what you think about Corus and its programming decisions etc. - its great to see all of these hard-working people in a new building actually designed for broadcasting - a much healthier working environment !
