Design

The request for proposal (RFP) for architectural design services was issued on Monday, December 8, 2014. Noting “Trent’s commitment to architecture that has an organic connection to the landscape and inspires interactive learning and collegial communities,” the RFP sought proposals that address not only the specific uses envisioned for the centre, but called for ‘inspired architecture’ that complements the adjacent facilities and Ron Thom architecture, promotes sustainable development, achieves at minimum the LEED silver standard, and is responsive to the diversity of the student body. Teeple Architects, whose work on the campus includes the chemical sciences building and the child care centre, won the project.

 

Trent University respectfully acknowledges it is located on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishnaabeg. We offer our gratitude to First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about, our earth and our relations. May we honour those teachings.
