Institutional

Institutional projects differ than other second spaces because of its role in society. The nature of these environments may be more sensitively tailored, bringing comfortability and approachability to the highest priority. These projects also have to fit within the current community context. Lastly, we strategize the balance of our client’s needs for streamlined productivity and the general population’s experience in the space.

Royal York Medical Building Renovation

This project involved the updating of the main building lobby and the addition of a LULA barrier free elevator in the lobby, bringing patrons from the main entrance to the first floor level which is located 1200 mm above the lobby entrance level. This challenging project required that the building and main entry remain fully operational while work was being completed. The retrofit was required to accommodate tight spaces while providing a barrier-free compliant entry.
