Smith School of Business Executive Education Suite, Queen's University

This project is an interior conversion and fit-up of former office space on the 30^th floor of a downtown high-rise, located on Front Street West in Toronto.

The design takes advantage of spectacular views over Lake Ontario. Finishes were consistent with a corporate feel appropriate for the Queen’s University Smith School of Business image. Work was completed to a high standard of quality on a very compressed schedule that utilized a Construction Manager and sequential tendering to allow work to begin prior to completion of all aspects of the design.

• Administrative office space
• Reception area and refreshment/staging kitchen

The second phase included expansion of the suite to add:

• A 30 seat classroom
• Boardroom
