The program was developed to facilitate a web of services, cohesively linking the school campus. Within its broad mandate, the Learning Commons also includes the allocation of space for a new student services “marketplace.” Each of the vital services that guide students outside of their regular curricular work is gathered in a visible and easily accessible campus neighbourhood. Services include university counselling, student guidance services, international outreach programs and food services. This project replaced an older multipurpose hall and rediscovered the vital relationship with the vibrant ravine lands.
