The Intact Centre is an office building located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that serves as the head offices of Ontario Power Generation and Intact Financial. It was originally built in 1975 for Ontario Hydro (of which OPG is a successor company) and has been previously known as Hydro Place, Ontario Hydro Building and Ontario Power Building. The building is owned by Triovest.
It was designed by the architect Kenneth Raymond Cooper with Consulting Architect Kenneth H. Candy, Chief Architect of Ontario Hydro, and Adamson Associates. Located at 700 University Avenue at the intersection of College Street in Downtown Toronto, the International Style building stands at 80.0 m and 19 floors with 113,898 m2 (1,225,990 sq ft) of space.[citation needed]
The building is served by Queen's Park station on the Toronto subway. The subway station connects the building to the MaRS Discovery District.
The building has a food court on the main floor which has restaurants such as Swiss Chalet, Subway, Tim Hortons, and Mr. Souvlaki. It also contains an INS convenience store, dental and eye offices. This food court is very popular among the people who work in the building as well as older students who go to Orde Street Junior Public School.
