Rogers Tower

Rogers Tower is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Rogers Tower rather than just read about it. In short: Rogers Tower, located at 1067 West Cordova Street in the downtown core of Vancouver in Coal Harbour, in British Columbia, Canada, is home to Rogers Communications' headquarters for Lower Mainland Operations and credited to local architect James K. M.

Key takeaways

Rogers Tower belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Rogers Tower to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Rogers Tower from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Rogers Tower, located at 1067 West Cordova Street in the downtown core of Vancouver in Coal Harbour, in British Columbia, Canada, is home to Rogers Communications' headquarters for Lower Mainland Operations and credited to local architect James K. M. Cheng. The building stands at 489 feet (149 m) or 41 stories and was completed in 2004. It is currently the seventh-tallest building in Vancouver. The lower 16 floors of the tower are offices while the upper 24 floors contain 130 work-live condominiums. Shaw Communications, the building's former namesake, once occupied 11 full floors. The building has two official addresses: 1067 is the building's business address, while 1077 is the residential address. The Jim Pattison Group, one of Canada's largest conglomerates, is headquartered in the tower. The building was rebranded from Shaw Tower to Rogers Tower in May 2023, after Shaw Communications merged into Rogers Communications.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rogers Tower

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rogers Tower claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rogers Tower before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rogers Tower ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rogers Tower

In research: Rogers Tower appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rogers Tower in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rogers Tower is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2004 establishments in British Columbia, British Columbia building and structure stubs, Buildings and structures completed in 2004, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rogers Tower outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
