The original
135,000 square foot Guelph-Humber Building, located on the north campus
of Humber College in Toronto was a joint venture with Diamond + Schmitt
Architects inc. The building houses lecture theatres, flexible teaching
classrooms, media studios, computer labs, offices, a digital learning commons,
art gallery and internet cafe. At the building's centre is a four storey
sky lit court and living bio
filter which optimizes air quality and the indoor environment.
Half of the original fourth floor was built up as shell space and became
eligible for a fit-out with new funding. The interior fit-out includes 4
teaching classrooms and a 100-seat classroom, a Business Centre, Break-out
conference rooms and a 40-seat tiered classroom.. The Business Centre consists
of a walk-in millwork wall that allows MBA students to access the copier,
printer and fax machine or plug in their laptops. Two semi-transparent polycarbonate
panelled sliding doors can close up the space for program events or open
out as part of general circulation. Polycarbonate panels hang below the
existing acrylic domed skylights to filter the light in the Break-out rooms.
