The Delta Hotel, which faces St. Mary's Cathedral, was once the site of St. Mary's School, which closed in 1968 and burned in 1969. [3]
In 2010, Lakeview Square was newly connected to the main Winnipeg Walkway system with the completion of a skyway from 330 Saint Mary Avenue to the Delta Hotel, utilizing a unique block-long exterior skyway running along the outside of the Delta on the Saint Mary Avenue side. [4]

The buildings of the complex are connected via various walkways and also through a common underground parking garage. Lakeview Square is connected to the Winnipeg Convention Centre by two skyways, one connecting to the Delta and the other connecting to One Lakeview Square. The skyway connects to the original skyway to the Convention Centre and a 2-storey glass tower at the corner of Carlton Street and Saint Mary Avenue. [4]
