One of a series of environmentally friendly Rest Stops located along the 400-series of Highways in Ontario.
All Rest Area service Centres in Ontario have been replaced with these LEED buildings within the past 10 years.
From the ONroute website:
We designed the ONroute Service Centres to be visually inspiring and welcoming to Ontario travellers. To serve you with best practices in sustainability and genuine hospitality for the next 50 years, we built each ONroute Service Centre using environmentally responsible materials and sustainable design features.
Overview
The inspiration for Ontario’s ONroute Service Centres is rooted in the imagery of rock outcroppings in the natural landscape. Working in harmony with each other, the striking architectural buildings function as identifiable symbols for the service centre experience throughout the province. The designs for all of the centres—regardless of location— incorporate three distinct elements – a glass atrium with sloped glass walls covered by a sloped metal roof; traditional indigenous stone walls; and wood trellises and canopies."
