This interior fit-out for the University of Toronto prioritizes futureproofed spaces for administrative work, study, collaboration, and social interaction, with an emphasis on maximizing natural light and promoting occupant well-being.
Working with the University of Toronto and Triovest, we undertook a complete redesign and fit-out of the 10th floor at 700 University Avenue. The objective of the project was to accommodate departments within the Faculty of Arts & Science that require an additional footprint while they pursue longer-term renovation and new building plans.
We optimized floor area usage to ensure the effective use of space, with an emphasis on enhanced functionality or flexibility. Guided by key institutional principles related to user comfort and sustainability, we were also challenged to design a highly adaptable environment capable of evolving with different departments’ changing needs. We achieved this by integrating AV, IT, and power solutions within the raised floor and with the strategic positioning of wall partitions. This approach allows for spatial reconfigurations, as required, while providing a clean and efficient layout.
The design balances both private and collaborative workspaces, ensuring maximum exposure to natural light. Workstations, private offices, and student learning areas are strategically arranged to enhance productivity and engagement. Shared spaces, including seminar and meeting rooms, as well as a common lounge, kitchen, work areas, and interview rooms offer versatility and encourage collaboration across disciplines.
