The University of Toronto at Scarborough was in need to replace their existing mechanical equipment for modernization and to add capacity for future expansion. The size of the new equipment required surpassed the existing mechanical enclosure. An intervention in the building was required to expand the mechanical equipment enclosure at the roof.
Three considerations were of great importance to achieve coherence with the existing fabric of the campus.
- First, the materiality of the building, a monolithic concrete structure
- Second, the iconic chimney, which could be described as a modern interpretation of tower clock, giving a visual reference thorough the campus
- And third the massing of the lecture rooms.
The form of the enclosure extends the pattern of canted walls and projecting lecture halls that characterize the building, while acoustically reflecting equipment sound vertically away from adjoining courtyard spaces.
