Residence design & construction

The University of Toronto awarded us the design-build contract for its new student residence, which will become one of the most energy-efficient buildings in Canada.

This building, which saw the start of construction in July 2020, will meet energy consumption standards, with energy-efficient features such as high-performance insulation and windows.

  • A suite for the residence supervisor
  • Three to four temporary rooms
  • Two suites for visiting scholars
  • Common areas for learning workshops
  • Administrative offices
  • A dining room
  • Storage space
  • Mixed-use spaces
  • A rooftop garden
  • A terrace

  • Project development
  • Project design
  • Coordination with design partners
  • Site and construction operations
