McMaster Uni LSBB Renovation + New Greenhouse
The renovation of McMaster University’s Life Sciences Biology Building (LSBB) involved a multi-phased refurbishment of the original brutalist LSBB (first constructed in the 1970s), with the addition of a state-of-the-art, 11,400 SF Greenhouse with connecting labs, study spaces, and other amenities. This renovation has successfully integrated the new greenhouse with the pre-existing building, while simultaneously fulfilling additional objectives of the university, including operational efficiency, student experience, and sustainability, among others. The renewal of this critical facility has established the Department of Biology as a vital part of the entry sequence to the Hamilton campus, existing as a thoughtfully designed and durabl... Mehr

Wirkkraft und Wirtschaftlichkeit beginnen bei Form und Nutzungsneutralität der 4 neuen Campusbauten. Die Baukörper sind sehr kompakt gehalten. Die offenen Flächen, zwischen Kern und Fassade aufgespannt, können wechselnden Forschungswelten rasch angepasst werden. Ökonomie und Ökologie ergänzen einander auch durch die einfach konzipierte Haustechnik. Es werden hauptsächlich alternat... Mehr

Richcraft Hall, Carleton University
Protecting, respecting and enhancing the Rideau Canal and River is a fundamental municipal, provincial and national priority. The Carleton University Campus is quite literally framed by these two waterways – the Canal along the east and north edges, and the River to the south. The new campus master plan calls for all buildings on campus to act as paths between these natural landscapes and vessels that frame and highlight views outward. Directly on the waterfront, the 143,000 SF Richcraft Hall (formerly River Building) does just that.

Multi-Faith Centre, University of Toronto
The Multi-Faith Centre at the University of Toronto accommodates spiritual and faith-based practices, encouraging interfaith dialogue and spiritual development as part of campus life. The space is a uniquely versatile venue in which people of all faiths feel equally welcome and equally valued. Selective alterations to the existing interior create ‘faith-neutral’ spaces that provide sanctuary and retreat for all people, creating opportunities for interfaith dialogue and study.

Das Gebäude ist nach der ersten niederländischen Ministerin benannt, die 1982 die Ehrendoktorwürde der ehemaligen Katholischen Universität Tilburg erhielt. Nach Angaben der Architekten ist der 33 mal 33 Meter große Kubus eine Hommage an ein anderes berühmtes Campus-Gebäude und das erste auf dem Campus realisierte Gebäude, das Cobbenha... Mehr

HED completes the Frankel Detroit Observatory extension
The second oldest building to exist on the campus of the University of Michigan, the Judy and Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory, was the first scientific research laboratory within the premises. The new renovation and addition were undertaken by HED architects to pay homage to the university’s history and encourage exploration and knowledge sharing.

The lack of amenities and inaccessibility of the building due to its dramatic hill setting posed a decrease in its visitors to only 350 per year, leading to significant underutilisation of the facility. The new 7000sqf addition comprises a multifunctional classroom and street-level access to the facility.

Makwa Waakaa'igan Indigenous Centre of Excellence
At the gateway to Algoma University in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, currently stands Shinhigwauk Hall, the former residential school where children from 184 First Nations communities across Canada were taken from their parents, families, culture and communities. Since the school’s official closure in 1970, the Children of Shinhigwauk Alumni Association, the survivors of the school, have been working with Algoma University to heal this place, and work toward reconciliation through the vision of a cross-cultural learning centre – a facility of healing, cultural preservation, dialogue and transformation. A new heart for the campus, the design intent of the Makwa Waakaa’igan Indigenous Centre of Cultural Excellence is to provide... Mehr

Anglia Ruskin University
“The blue copper effectively gave the closest visual match to a natural patinated copper in our opinion – without the 25-year wait for the weather to do the job for us.”
Richard Murphy Architects have created a new campus for Anglia Ruskin University, announced by a dramatic curved façade clad in tiered layers of blue-coloured pre-patinated copper.
The three buildings comprising the new campus (built by principal Design and Build contractors R G Carter Cambridge Ltd.) share the same external facing brickwork, structured by dark metal detailing. In contrast, vertical standing-seam cladding in pre-patinated copper accentuates the curved facades of the lecture theatre. Richard Murphy Architects’ Director J... Mehr

Leh Satellite Campus Kashmir University
“Breath-taking” is a double edged sword… in Leh.
There are tomes written about the majesty, grandeur and the raw beauty of Ladakh, and for those who have travelled, and had a bout of “mountain sickness”, it’s quite something else.
The mountains, and the shadows cast by clouds in different seasons create a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colour and texture. And yet, for those who live there, the weather and the altitude are a formidable companion to live with. And if that was not enough, it is a highly unstable, seismically active geology!
How does one, then, create a built environment, that is …“suitable”!?
A simple word.. which sets off a whole area of research. Arm... Mehr

Tata Hall for the Sciences
The interdisciplinary Tata Hall for the Sciences, designed by CO Architects, increases research capacity at the University of California, San Diego (UC San Diego), and provides a new hub for teaching and scholarly engagement. The 130,000-square-foot, seven-floor building combines research and teaching from two different departments, biology and chemistry. Recognizing that many scientific breakthroughs occur through interdisciplinary collaboration, UC San Diego required research labs to be designed to encourage interaction, with work benches grouped together in an open area, rather than in separate spaces, which is common in typical lab layouts. Specialized research procedure rooms are situated at the ends of the building t... Mehr

Lucerne School of Art and Design
Auf dem Industrieareal der ehemaligen Viscosuisse und heutigen Monosuisse AG in Emmenbrücke entsteht in naher Zukunft ein neues Stadtquartier, die Viscosistadt. Unter Wahrung der Vielfalt des Bestands wird die heute schon urbane Qualität des Areals verstärkt und weiterentwickelt. Als erste Massnahme wird Gebäude 745 zum neuen Standort der Hochschule Luzern – Design & Kunst umgenutzt werden. Mit seinem kräftigen, expressiven Ausdruck ist es ein Zeuge des industriellen Erbes der Viscosuisse und prägt das Areal massgeblich.
Das weitgespannte Tragwerk, bestehend aus Stützen, Unterzügen und vorfabrizierten Betonrippendecken, erzeugt grosszügige freie Räume. Um die Qualität... Mehr
