- CIBC_750_Lawrence abstract "CIBC 750 Lawrence is a two tower complex in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, built in the early 1980s. It is part of CIBC's head office operations outside of Commerce Court and the main quarters of CIBC Credit Card Services, including Visa call centres and Visa operations. The Visa call centre is a member of the Steel Workers Union in Toronto. Originally, the union representing those workers was known as UBE Local 2104. UBE meaning Union of Bank Employees. The Visa call centre at 750 is now the only unionized department in CIBC, but at the time of the strike in 1986, the Commerce Court Mail Room, Stationery Department, Mortgage Department, a few branches in downtown Toronto, and the Internal Mail Trucks that transported correspondences within the greater Toronto area were also unionized. Although the Stationery Department, Mortgage Department and the branches did not take part in the strike, they supported the workers. During original negotiations with CIBC, the Mortgage Department broke away from the Union and never joined again. 750 consists of two buildings, one six stories (West) and the other, ten stories (East), built by Toronto-based firm Bregman + Hamann Architects (B+H) in 1981. B+H is the same firm involved in renovations in 2001. Even though CIBC sold off many of their buildings, including Commerce Court, back in the late 1990s...750 Lawrence continues to be owned by CIBC to this day, and is presently managed by Brookfield Johnson Controls for CIBC. It is located in Lawrence Heights across the street from Lawrence Square Shopping Centre and a short walk to Lawrence West subway station. When 750 Lawrence first opened in 1981, it housed CIBC Mortgage Department whick took up 3 floors in the West Tower, CIBC Marketing which took up 2 floors in the East Tower and 1 floor in the West, several smaller departments, and CIBC Dealer Plan department. Dealer Plan had a small parking lot where repossessed cars and small trucks were kept. That same parking lot is known as the Contractors parking lot today. Before 750 was the building you see today, it was a much smaller building that housed the CIBC Stationery Department, which was the CIBC version of Staples or Grant and Toy. The West wall of the West Tower was damaged in 2001 by a large fire at a housing development located directly to the west...760 Lawrence. Every window on that West wall was cracked or broken except one.The building once housed an internal branch for employees. The branch was a sub-unit of the head office branch at Commerce Court. The branch has since closed and renovated as lounges and conference rooms in 2001. Three bank machines in the west wing offer banking options for employees.Between the two wings is a tree-lined courtyard with benches and used for staff events.Besides CIBC, the following retailers and/or tenants operate in the building: Gateway Newstands Tim Hortons Aramark DTZ Manpower".
