[2] Modern Press was originally purchased by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, with its most notable publication being The Western Producer.

In 1993 the building was renovated by Atomic Energy of Canada to house the offices for the CANDU 3 reactor design program; resulting in the architectural firm of Heney Klypak Architect Ltd. winning the 1994 Heritage Design Award.

[3] AECL closed down the CANDU 3 program in 1996,[4] eventually resulting in SaskTel moving into the building.

The exterior finishes of the Modern Press Building were renovated in 2013 to match the Nexus Building's striking and elegant Dark Pearl granite and high polished stainless exterior, which depicts finishes more faithful to high quality art deco structures in New York and Chicago.

All of the art deco details of the Modern Press Building were retained in a sensitive restoration that The Mid-West Group is well known for.
