Monolithic Blue-Tinted Building


A view of of the "world's local bank" IT headquarters. Most of the Universal Banking System components are designed and built in this highly secured building which is rather intimidating for a timid city like Vancouver.

They do everything to keep people and perhaps the sun away from the building with its highly reflective blue window tint . On a lighter note, we share the building with EBay's call centre.
