Austin American-Statesman

The Austin American-Statesman is the major daily newspaper for Austin, the capital city of the U.S. state of Texas. It is owned by Gannett.

The distribution of the following The New York Times, The Washington Post, Associated Press, and USA TODAY international and national news, but also incorporates strong Central Texas coverage, especially in political reporting. The Statesman benefits from the culture and writing heritage of Austin. It extensively covers the music scene, especially the annual South by Southwest Music Festival. The newspaper co-sponsors Austin events such as the Capital 10K, one of the largest 10K runs in the U.S., and the Season for Caring charity campaign. In the Austin market, the Statesman competes with the Austin Chronicle, an alternative weekly.

Circulation
In 2009, the Austin American-Statesman ranked 60th in circulation among daily newspapers, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Figures from Scarborough Research show the Statesman — in print and online – reaches 68% of Central Texans in an average week.

Following a national trend among daily newspapers, the Statesman has seen circulation declines in recent years. Austin is one of America's most Internet-connected cities, though not ranked in the 25 largest "connected" cities, and in a related trend, the Statesman's daily circulation ranks among those cities seeing drops of 5% or more in recent reports. As compared to a U.S. national decline of 2.1%, the Statesman's daily circulation in the most recent six-month reporting period fell 5.6% to 173,527. Its Sunday circulation fell 5.5% to 215,984. Austin is the 11th-largest city (and the 35th-largest metropolitan area) in the U.S.

Politics
The Statesman endorsed George W. Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections, and Republican governor Rick Perry along with every other Republican incumbent in 2006. In the 2008 presidential election, however, the paper endorsed Barack Obama. The Statesman also provides coverage of Libertarian Party and Green Party matters.

History
Founded as the triweekly Democratic Statesman in 1871, the newspaper was originally allied with the state Democratic party during Reconstruction. It began daily publication as a morning paper in 1873. After absorbing the Austin Tribune in 1914, it published as the afternoon Austin Statesman and Tribune, then became an evening paper and changed its name to the Austin Evening Statesman in 1916.

A rival paper, the morning Austin American, began in 1914. Waco-based newspapermen Charles E. Marsh and E.S. Fentress bought the American in 1919 and the Evening Statesman in 1924. Merged under one company, the morning and evening papers published separately during the week and combined for a Sunday Austin American Statesman edition. The company continued separate titles until 1973, when all products became the American-Statesman, with four editions daily.

Cox Enterprises acquired the Statesman when it bought the Waco newspaper company in 1976. In 1987, the Statesman moved to morning-only publication. In 2008, Cox put the Statesman up for sale with most of its other newspaper holdings to pay down debt. A year later, the company pulled the paper off the market, citing a lack of suitable offers.

The newspaper was part of the subsidiary Cox Media Group, which joined the corporation's television, radio, and newspaper assets under one umbrella in 2008.

The Statesman was named Texas Associated Press Managing Editors' Newspaper of the Year in 2013, 2014, and 2016, besting Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas.

In 2015, ¡Ahora Sí! was named the best Spanish-language newspaper in the country for its circulation size by the National Association of Hispanic Publishers.

On March 6, 2018, the sale of the Statesman to GateHouse Media from Cox Media Group was announced. Upon taking over in April, GateHouse said the Statesman would be the "flagship" of the expanding chain, noting its existing 240-employee design and editing hub in Austin.

Becoming a Gannett property
In August 2019, New Media Investment Group, the parent entity of GateHouse Media, announced it had agreed to buy Gannett (the longtime parent company of USA Today, the Arizona Republic, the Detroit Free Press, and several other newspapers), and operations would continue under the Gannett rather than GateHouse name, at the Gannett headquarters outside Washington, DC, but under New Media's CEO. The acquisition of Gannett by New Media Investment Group was completed on November 19, 2019, making the combined company the largest newspaper publisher in the United States. Immediately after the merger was finalized, all GateHouse Media URLs began redirecting to Gannett.com. The Statesman website was soon redesigned to match the format of the USA Today website and those of the other Gannett papers.

Lawrence Funderburke

Lawrence Damon Funderburke (born December 15, 1970) is an American former professional basketball player.

Basketball career
Funderburke was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, where he played high school basketball at Wehrle High School, leading them to a state championship in his junior season (1988).

Collegiate career
Funderburke played his freshman year of college basketball at Indiana University, where he is known for tangling with Bobby Knight. He transferred after that season to Ohio State University, where he played his three remaining years of eligibility. There, he teamed with fellow future NBA player Jimmy Jackson to lead Ohio State to the Big Ten Championship in 1992.

NBA career
Funderburke was drafted by the Sacramento Kings in the 2nd round (51st overall) of the 1994 NBA draft, honing his game in Europe (with Greece's Ampelokipoi and PAOK and French outfit Pau-Orthez) for three years before joining the Kings in 1997.

Funderburke averaged 9.5 points and 4.5 rebounds as a rookie and played a role for the Kings during their successful seasons spanning from 1999–2003 as a backup to Chris Webber. After serving mainly as a reliable backup for Webber for six seasons, Funderburke missed the entire 2003–04 season, ultimately being waived in March 2004.

After appearing in two games for the Chicago Bulls, Funderburke retired in June 2005, holding NBA career averages of 6.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game.

Other activities
Funderburke graduated with a degree in business finance from Ohio State. While an active player in 2000, Funderburke and his wife founded the Lawrence Funderburke Youth Organization, a non-profit organization dedicated to help at-risk children through a variety of services. Hook Me Up, Playa! is a book by Funderburke that warns both professional and aspiring athletes of the dark side of the limelight through interviews with close friends who are (or were) professional athletes.

Personal life
Funderburke's daughter, Nyah, is currently a student-athlete competing for the Ohio State swim team. She qualified for the 2022 NCAA Division I Swimming Championships and was named a CSCAA first-team All-American for her contributions on Ohio State's 400-yard medley relay that finished eighth overall.

Excelsior (Longfellow)

"Excelsior" is a short poem written in 1841 by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

Overview
The poem describes a young man passing through a mountain village at dusk. He bears the banner "Excelsior" (translated from Latin as "higher", also loosely but more widely as "onward and upward"). The traveller disregards warnings from villagers of fearful dangers above, and an offer of rest from a local maiden. The youth climbs higher until a last distant cry interrupts the prayers of the monks of Saint Bernard. "Lifeless, but beautiful" he is found by a "faithful hound" half-buried in the snow, "still clasping in his hands of ice that banner with the strange device, Excelsior!"

Longfellow's first draft of "Excelsior", now in the archives at Harvard University, notes that he finished the poem at three o'clock in the morning on September 28, 1841. The poem came to him as he was trying to sleep. "That voice kept ringing in my ears", as he wrote to his friend Samuel Gray Ward, which caused him to get up and write the poem immediately.

"Excelsior" was printed in Supplement to the Courant, Connecticut Courant, vol. VII no. 2, January 22, 1842. It was also included in Longfellow's collection Ballads and Other Poems in 1842.

The title of "Excelsior" was reportedly inspired by the state seal of New York, which bears the Latin motto Excelsior. Longfellow had seen it earlier on a scrap of newspaper. Longfellow explained the repeated title as from the Latin, Scopus meus excelsior est ("my goal is higher"). Biographer Charles Calhoun suggested the Alpine setting was an autobiographical reference to the poet's then-unsuccessful wooing of Frances Appleton, daughter of industrialist Nathan Appleton.

Adaptations and parodies
The popularity of "Excelsior" inspired many parodies, adaptations, and references in other media. The poem was set to music as a duet for tenor and baritone by the Irish composer Michael William Balfe, and became a staple of Victorian and Edwardian drawing rooms. Longfellow's acquaintance Franz Liszt composed an adaptation as a prelude to his longer Longfellow adaptation of The Golden Legend. He began writing it for Baroness von Meyendorff in 1869; it premiered in Budapest on March 10, 1875.

A Plea for Old Cap Collier by Irvin S. Cobb, satirized it. His description is partly based on an illustration used in the readers. The words quoted are Longfellow's:

 * The shades of night were falling fast,
 * As through an Alpine village passed
 * A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
 * A banner with the strange device,
 * Excelsior!

There is a Lancashire version or parody, Uppards, written by Marriott Edgar one hundred years later in 1941. James Thurber (1894–1961) illustrated the poem in Fables for Our Time and Famous Poems Illustrated in 1945. Thurber chose nine poems for the series, including John Greenleaf Whittier's "Barbara Frietchie" and Rose Hartwick Thorpe's "Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight".

In Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, the entire action of the play happens in a fictitious New Jersey town with the name "Excelsior". Longfellow is also directly mentioned with a fictitious poem towards the end of Act I. Lorenz Hart alludes to Longfellow's poem in the title song of the musical On Your Toes:
 * Remember the youth 'mid snow and ice
 * Who bore the banner with the strange device,
 * Excelsior!
 * This motto applies to folks who dwell
 * In Richmond Hill or in New Rochelle,
 * In Chelsea or
 * In Sutton Place.

"Excelsior" also became a trade name for wood shavings used as packing material or furniture stuffing. In Bullwinkle's Corner, Bullwinkle the Moose parodies the poem in Season 2 Episode 18 (1960–61) of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show:
 * The answer came both quick and blunt:
 * It's just an advertising stunt.
 * I represent Smith, Jones, & Jakes,
 * A lumber company that makes...
 * Excelsior!

The poem is the base for the motto of Wynberg Allen School in Mussorie, India. It is also the name and motto for the Brampton, Ontario, Canada box lacrosse teams. In 1871 Mr. George Lee, a Brampton High School teacher introduced lacrosse to the town. He proposed the name "Excelsior", which he took from Longfellow's poem. In 1883 the Brampton Excelsiors Lacrosse Club was officially formed. The name has been used for all levels of box lacrosse in Brampton ever since.

Sam Loyd's chess problem Excelsior was named for this poem.

In Italy S.A.T., the Tridentin Alpine Society which is the largest section of the Italian Alpine Club (C.A.I) has "Excelsior" as its motto referring to the poem of Longfellow.

In Charlotte MacLeod's Something In the Water (one of the author's Peter Shandy mysteries), Peter climbs a steep slope to visit an elderly woman; and, at the finish of the climb, "he felt like the youth who bore 'mid snow and ice a banner with a strange device; he had a sneaking urge to shout 'Excelsior!'"

In "ManBearPig", the sixth episode in the tenth season of the American animated television series South Park, Al Gore visits South Park to warn everyone about a creature called ManBearPig, an allegory for global warming. Gore describes the monster as “half human, half bear, half pig.” Al Gore is portrayed as a caped hero who exclaims "Excelsior!" as he attempts to fly.

Tulane Green Wave

The Tulane Green Wave are the athletic teams that represent Tulane University, located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tulane competes in NCAA Division I as a member of the American Athletic Conference (The American). There are 14 Green Wave intercollegiate programs, two of which compete outside The American. Beach volleyball and bowling, women's sports that are not sponsored by The American, compete in Conference USA (CUSA).

Nickname
Tulane's nickname was adopted during the 1920 season, after a song titled "The Rolling Green Wave" was published in the Tulane Hullabaloo in 1920. From 1893 to 1919 the athletic teams of Tulane were officially known as "The Olive and Blue", for the official school colors. In 1919 the Tulane Weekly, one of Tulane's many student newspapers at the time and the predecessor of the Tulane Hullabaloo, began referring to the football team as the "Greenbacks", an unofficial nickname that also led to another: the "Greenies".

History
The university was a charter member of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), in which it competed until 1966. Tulane, along with other academically-oriented, private schools had considered forming the Southern Ivy League (a.k.a. Magnolia Conference) in the 1950s. It joined the newly formed Conference USA in 1995. In 2012 the university announced it would move to the Big East Conference (later renamed the American Athletic Conference) in all sports in July 2014.

NCAA
Tulane has been both an independent and affiliated with multiple conferences.
 * Independent (1893–1894)
 * Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (1895–1921)
 * Southern Conference (1922–1932)
 * Southeastern Conference (1933–1965)
 * Independent (1966–1995)
 * Conference USA (1996–2013)
 * American Athletic Conference (2014–present)

Baseball
The Tulane baseball team, also established in 1893, is managed by head coach Jay Uhlman. The program has appeared in the NCAA tournament 22 times and in the College World Series twice. They play home games on campus at Turchin Stadium.

Men's basketball
The men's basketball team, established in 1905, is coached by Ron Hunter, who was hired following the 2018-19 season. They play their home games in Devlin Fieldhouse, named after a donation that enabled extensive renovations in 2012–13. It is the 9th-oldest active basketball venue in the nation.

Women's basketball
The women's team has been coached since 1995 by Lisa Stockton, who has led the program to 15 postseason tournaments, including 10 NCAA tournament appearances. They play their home games in Devlin Fieldhouse, named after a donation that enabled extensive renovations in 2012–13. It is the 9th-oldest active basketball venue in the nation.

Women's beach volleyball
The Tulane Green Wave women's beach volleyball team competes in NCAA Division I beach volleyball in Conference USA (CUSA), having joined that conference as an associate member in 2022. The team was founded in 2011.

Football
The Tulane football team, established in 1893, competes in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision. Green Wave football teams have won 10 conference championships, including three in the SEC and one each in CUSA and The American, and have appeared in 12 postseason bowl games. They are coached by Jon Sumrall and play home games in Yulman Stadium.

Men's tennis
The Tulane Green Wave men's tennis team competes in NCAA Division I tennis and is part of the American Athletic Conference. The team won the NCAA tennis team championship in 1959. The men's tennis team also won eight singles team non-NCAA recognized national championships and two doubles team non-NCAA recognized national championships. It also won an individual indoor singles national championship.

Logo and mascot
Tulane officials commissioned John Chase in 1945 to illustrate the covers of its football game programs. He came up with Greenie, a mischievous boy who would be considered an unofficial mascot by many fans. Chase illustrated Greenie on program covers until 1969.

In 1963 the Athletics Director and Eldon Endacott, manager of the university bookstore, contacted Art Evans, a commercial artist who already had designed the Boilermaker mascot for Purdue University, the Wisconsin Badgers and the University of Southern California Trojan, to create a new mascot for Tulane athletics. His design for a mean-looking anthropomorphic wave-crest was officially adopted in 1964. A new logo consisting of a white block "T" with green and blue waves crossing its center was adopted in 1986 as the primary symbol for official uniforms, though the "Angry Wave" cartoon continued to be used in licensed products, and a costumed wave nicknamed Gumby also served as the mascot.

A full redesign of all athletics logos and marks was commissioned in 1998, replacing the "angry wave" and "wavy T" designs with a green and blue oblique T crested by a foamy wave. Gumby was replaced with a new pelican mascot, recalling the university seal, and the fact that a pelican was often used in the first half of the century as the emblem of Tulane's athletics teams. The pelican is also the Louisiana state bird and is found on the state flag and state seal. The name "Riptide" was selected for the performing pelican by the administration after a vote of the student body in which the students actually voted that the pelican be named "Pecker." The pelican mascot name may have been so voted as the student body had also overwhelmingly voted for Poseidon to be the mascot. Poseidon was rejected by the administration and student body government because it could be portrayed as a white male. In 2014, Tulane changed the color of the "wave" above the "T" from a seafoam green to a color closer to lime green.

In 2017, Tulane announced that the "T-Wave" would be replaced as the primary logo by a redesigned "Angry Wave".

Green Wave Club
The Green Wave Club, formerly known as the Tulane Athletics Fund, is the official fundraising arm of Tulane Green Wave, supporting Green Wave student-athletes in their academic, athletic, and community pursuits by providing unrestricted annual funds to the Athletics department.

In 2007 the fund set a record for membership with 2,210 donors contributing. In 2011 it spearheaded the "Home Field Advantage" campaign to fully fund the $73 million construction of Yulman Stadium on the Uptown campus through private donations.

Athletics reform
After coming off a winning season and a Hawaii Bowl victory in 2003, it was leaked that Former President Scott Cowen and the Board of Trustees was planning to vote on either doing away with a commitment to Division 1 football, or propose scaling down to Division 3 due to their concern for the long-term financial viability of sustaining a Division 1 athletic program in the changing BCS landscape. When the news leaked, the outrage by fans, alumni, and boosters forced the Board of Trustees to pivot and claim it actually intended to undertake a comprehensive "review" of athletics. The outcome of the review was a commitment to maintaining a Division I athletic program, and also included points to address academic performance, graduation rates, financial viability, and support for athletics within the overall University mission. (In 2003 Tulane's graduation rate for student-athletes stood at 79%, ranking 14th among all Division I programs.)

Scott Cowen began a dialog with other university presidents calling for a change to the existing system that rewards established powers at the expense of less successful programs. His criticisms, in particular of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) in football, led to the creation of the Presidential Coalition for Athletics Reform and opened the door for hearings on college athletics revenues in the Senate Judiciary Committee in October 2003. On February 29, 2004, the BCS met in Miami, Florida, and agreed to amend revenue distribution and open the series to more opportunities for BCS non-AQ teams. As a member of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, Cowen was active in decision-making regarding the future of college football.

Effects of Hurricane Katrina
As a result of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, Tulane's varsity sports teams, with the exception of cross country and track and field, moved to four universities in Texas and Louisiana for the remainder of that academic semester, while continuing to represent Tulane in competition:
 * Louisiana Tech University: football
 * Southern Methodist University: men's and women's golf
 * Texas A&M University: men's basketball, women's swimming and diving, women's volleyball, women's soccer, men's tennis, and women's tennis
 * Texas Tech University: baseball and women's basketball

For its fortitude in the face of Katrina, the 2005 Tulane football team received Disney's Wide World of Sports Spirit Award and the Football Writers Association of America Annual Courage Award. The university's Renewal Plan called for the suspension of some of its sports, and it did not return to a full 16 teams until the 2011–12 school year.

Scotia Square

Scotia Square is a commercial development in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was built from the late 1960s to late 1970s and is managed by Crombie REIT.

The complex comprises several office buildings, a shopping centre, two hotels, a parking garage, and three apartment buildings. A fourth apartment building is under construction. Scotia Square is connected to the Downtown Halifax Link, a network of enclosed walkways, and hosts a major Halifax Transit bus terminal.

Development context
Scotia Square was developed in an era when urban renewal was in vogue. Many cities were demolishing neighbourhoods considered blighted and obsolete. In 1956, the National Housing Act was amended, offering federal government assistance to redevelopment projects that put land to its "highest and best use". Halifax city council commissioned town planner Gordon Stephenson to draw up a redevelopment proposal for the city, which was published in 1957. Stephenson called the area now home to Scotia Square the "worst part" of the city centre, writing: "With the exception of the blocks between Barrington and Argyle Streets, it is in a generally deplorable condition. Here are some of the worst tenements, and dirty cinder sidewalks merge with patches of cleared land littered with rubbish. It is suggested that the clearing of this area should have high priority." Stephenson proposed a suite of recommendations across Halifax including the clearance of what was termed the "Central Redevelopment Area".

The City of Halifax applied for (and won) funds under section 23 of the National Housing Act to aid in land acquisition and clearance. The 12.81 acres of cleared land was held jointly by all three levels of government. In 1962, the city put out a request for proposals that attracted only one response, from the Woking Group. The city considered the proposal too ambitious and rejected it. In September 1963, the Woking Group submitted a more modest proposal developed with the assistance of architects Robert Matthew and Percy Johnson-Marshall of the University of Edinburgh. An agreement was signed between the city and the Woking Group in October 1963. This agreement later fell through due to financial issues.

K.C. Appleyard, an engineer who had helped set up Industrial Estates Limited, was critical of the city's failure to develop the Central Redevelopment Area. Halifax mayor Charles Vaughan challenged Appleyard to do something about it, and Appleyard reportedly went to the Halifax Club the same day to assemble a new development company, Halifax Developments Limited (HDL), with the board of directors composed of prominent members of the province's business elite. The company informed Halifax council of their plans, and hired architect Carl Koch and real estate consultant William Hardman. The city issued a second call for proposals, which this time attracted three entrants – HDL, Woking Group, and local developer Ralph Medjuck. Medjuck bought out Woking Group "at the last minute", giving him control over two of the proposals.

On 24 April 1966, the city announced that HDL's "Scotia Square" proposal had been selected. Halifax Developments Limited hired McAlpine Construction to serve as general contractor, and brought Toronto architecture firm Allward and Gouinlock on as an architectural consultant. A formal agreement between HDL and the City of Halifax was signed on 31 August 1966 and construction of the Trade Mart, the first phase of the development, began thereafter. The urban fabric of downtown Halifax was significantly altered by the development. Several streets disappeared from the map, including Buckingham Street, Bells Lane, Jacob Street, and sections of Grafton and Argyle streets.

Scotia Square was developed in concert with the adjacent Cogswell Interchange, a multi-level road interchange that opened in 1970 and was to be the first phase of a waterfront highway called Harbour Drive, which was cancelled due to public protest.

Construction and opening
The first phase of Scotia Square, the Trade Mart building, was officially opened in 1968 by Nova Scotia premier George Isaac Smith. That building was described by the developer as "a combined shopping centre for wholesalers, distributors, manufacturers' agents, and a warehouse for light manufacturing and storage." As of 2023, the Trade Mart is called "Brunswick Place".

Premier Smith also opened the Scotia Square shopping centre on 15 October 1969. At that time, there were 29 stores. Another 30 stores opened by the end of 1969. The first office tower in the complex, Duke Tower, was opened on 1 February 1970.

The shopping centre, called Scotia Mall, housed tenants such as Famous Players cinema and a Woolco department store. A food court, known as the "Ports of Call", opened in July 1978 with 350 seats and seven food kiosks.

The second office tower, Barrington Tower, was officially completed on 1 April 1971 and served as the headquarters of the Nova Scotia Power Commission, later Nova Scotia Power Corporation. Following privatization of the electricity utility, it became the headquarters of Emera. Duke Tower and Barrington Tower are located directly on top of the Scotia Square mall.

In addition to offices, retail space, and a hotel, Scotia Square was designed to include several apartment buildings. The first of these was the 190-unit Scotia Towers, which opened in 1972.

In October 1971, it was announced that Halifax Developments Limited would partner with Canadian Pacific Hotels to build a new hotel at Scotia Square. Called the Chateau Halifax, the hotel was completed on 29 January 1974. It later became the Delta Halifax, and as of 2023 is operated as the Hotel Halifax by a different owner.

MacKeen Towers, the second residential building in the Scotia Square complex, opened in October 1974. It is named after Colonel John C. MacKeen.

The original development plan called for an apartment building at the north end of the parking garage. Owing to the successful leasing of the two office towers, it was decided to build a third office tower there instead. Called Cogswell Tower, this building was completed in May 1975.

The third residential building, the 155-unit Plaza 1881, began accepting tenants in May 1980. It was designed as a "deluxe apartment building" with a health club and swimming pool. It was built on the site of Halifax's old city market and police department.

Durham Leaseholds buildings
Two additional buildings on the opposite side of Barrington Street are marketed as being part of Scotia Square, though these were not part of the original development proposal. They were developed by Durham Leaseholds Limited, a joint venture between Halifax Developments Limited and Oxford Development Group of Edmonton, and are linked to the Square Square mall via enclosed pedestrian bridges.

1809 Barrington, better known as the CIBC Building, is an office high-rise that was announced by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in 1975 as the bank's new Atlantic regional headquarters, and opened as the Bank of Commerce Tower in September 1977. It is connected to TD Tower, which is owned by a different landlord and is not considered part of Scotia Square.

Barrington Place, a low-rise retail and hotel building, was opened on 26 March 1980. It housed the 203-room Barrington Inn, which was operated by Delta Hotels and was later known as the Delta Barrington. As of 2023, it operates as the Barrington Hotel. Barrington Place also contained 55 retail spaces on opening, providing together with Scotia Mall more than 150 shops and services, which Halifax Developments described as "the greatest single selection of stores and services in Atlantic Canada". The eastern side of the development incorporates the architecturally valuable facades of demolished 19th-century buildings facing the Granville Mall (a portion of Granville Street closed to motor vehicle traffic). In recent years, much of the Barrington Place retail space was converted to office space as well as a gym that occupies many of the former shopfronts along Granville Street.

Recent expansion
In the 1980s, a footbridge was built across the Cogswell Interchange linking Barrington Place to the Purdy's Wharf development on the waterfront. In the late 1990s, the podium façade at the corner of Duke and Barrington streets was altered.

In 2014, retail and dining storefronts were added to the three apartment buildings on Brunswick Street (MacKeen Towers, Scotia Towers, and Plaza 1881), replacing blank walls. This project won an Award of Merit for Civic Design in the Halifax municipal government's Urban Design Awards 2018.

An expansion of the Scotia Square shopping centre, along Barrington Street, was built around 2016-17. It was designed by DSRA Architects of Halifax. The three-storey development adds street-level commercial space, as well as office and retail space above. According to Crombie REIT, the design was intended to bring the site into better agreement with municipal design guidelines mandating more pedestrian-oriented districts. The project also added an indoor waiting room, at street level, for Halifax Transit passengers.

A new building, Westhill on Duke, was proposed in the 2010s for the southwest corner of the complex on the corner of Duke Street and Albemarle Street. It was to be an 18-storey building with retail, residential, and office space with a more pedestrian-friendly street frontage than the current blank wall. Architects involved on the project were DSRA Architects and Zeidler Partnership Architects.

The Westhill on Duke proposal was superseded in 2023 by "The Marlstone", a 291-unit residential building that began construction the same year.

Components
Scotia Square consists of a shopping mall, two hotels, and a number of office and apartment towers connected to each other and to other buildings by pedways and tunnels. In the centre of the complex is Scotia Square Mall and a large food court servicing the adjoining office buildings. The complex is adjacent to the Cogswell Interchange, and it fronts on Duke Street to the south, Barrington Street to the east, and Albemarle Street (formerly Market Street) to the west.

Pedways and tunnels
Scotia Square is connected to surrounding buildings by several pedestrian bridges and tunnels.

 * Pedway connecting Brunswick Street to the Scotia Square Parkade, and the west parkade stairwell. Passes over Albemarle Street (formerly Market Street).
 * Pedway connecting the northwest corner of Scotia Square Parkade (topmost level) to Brunswick Place (formerly called Trade Mart building), which is located beside Scotia Square Parkade, on the north side of Cogswell Street.
 * Tunnel connecting mall to World Trade and Convention Centre, as well as the Scotiabank Centre (formerly Halifax Metro Centre). Passes under Duke Street.
 * Three-level pedway going from Barrington & Duke Towers to a stairwell, which leads to parking and the mall. The middle level of this pedway joins up to the Brunswick Street Pedway mentioned above.
 * Pedway going from Scotia Square Mall, over Barrington Street, and into Barrington Place Shops. From there one can go via pedway to Purdy's Wharf, Casino Nova Scotia, the CIBC Building, and the TD Tower.

Shopping centre
The Scotia Square mall is mainly located beneath Duke and Barrington towers. It has grown smaller over time, as the uppermost floor was converted to office space. Today, the mall occupies one level (except for the NSLC outlet next to the Barrington Street entrance at street level).

The food court was renovated in 2014 and named "The Mix" by Crombie REIT. The court features 14 different food vendors ranging from large fast food chains like McDonald's to locally owned vendors like Mama Gratti's Deli & Market. Various upgrades to seating during the renovation allows large foot traffic during lunchtime rushes during the week. Being based toward servicing those working downtown the hours of operation of most food court tenants are 9:30a.m. to 6:00p.m.

The municipal government operated a service centre in the mall, but this closed permanently in 2020.

As of 2023, the mall is home to 11 food outlets and 23 shops and services. Major tenants include Lawtons, Scotiabank, Coles, NSLC, Dollarama, and Goodlife Fitness.

Transit terminal
Scotia Square is home to one of the busiest Halifax Transit bus terminals in the city; Scotia Square Terminal saw over 11,000 passengers board or alight on an average weekday in 2019/20. As of October 2021, it was served by 33 bus routes. Most of the buses stop on Barrington Street with the exception of the regional express (MetroX) routes, which are located on Albemarle Street, and route 2, which stops on Duke Street in the Clayton Park-bound direction.

As part of a renovation and expansion of the Scotia Square shopping centre on Barrington Street, an indoor waiting room was added for Halifax Transit passengers. Located at street level, on the west side of Barrington Street, the waiting room opened on 27 November 2017.

There are plans to expand and enhance Scotia Square Terminal as part of the Cogswell Interchange redevelopment project, adding dedicated transit lanes, seating, improved lighting, canopies, and electronic signage.

I have Hoffman as my prof for intro chem at Cornell. He's sweet and a great teacher! : ) Lepidoptera 22:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Expansion notice
Hoffmann really deserves a longer article considering how central he has been considered in chemistry. Also comparing this article to that for Woodward, the difference is remarkable. Olin

Agreed; made it a high-priority item. Lightwiki 01:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Woodward
This:- "while Woodward had died two years previously otherwise he probable would have shared it as well (it would have been Woodward's second Nobel Prize for Chemistry)." has just been added. I removed it to here. If anyone can cite real evidence for this claim, we can put it back, otherwise it should stay out of the article. --Bduke 09:00, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Awards
Which awards should be links and which should not? Thoughts? Lightwiki 01:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC).
 * I think all awards should have links to the award itself and to the Society that awards it, but only if the links are real. There should be no redlinks. If someone does a new article, they should search for articles that contain the name. There are places for redlinks to encourage new articles, but I do not think that a list of awards is that place. Such lists often contain redlinks that will never become articles. In many cases the award or medal should just be mentioned in the article on the Society that awards it and not have an article itself. --Bduke 02:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. Have at it!-- LightWiki 04:51, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I should add that I do not think that items in the list of awards should be linked if they have previously been linked earlier in the article. --Bduke 01:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
