This project is an interior conversion and fit-up of former office space on the 30th 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.
- The initial phase involved fit-up of approx. 7,000 ft² and included:
- An 80 seat tiered classroom, fully wired for “state of the art” audio/visual teaching technologies, which is convertible to a reception area and event space
- Three video conference rooms
- Five meeting rooms
- Administrative office space
- Reception area and refreshment/staging kitchen
The second phase included expansion of the suite to add:
- A 30 seat classroom
- Boardroom
- Three meeting rooms
- Student study space
- Event kitchen
The third and final phase entails fit-up of the balance of the 30th floor comprising of 25,000 ft². The phase three program includes:
- A second 80 seat tiered classroom
- An additional video conference room
- A relocated and expanded office area
- Various staff and student meeting rooms
- A large flexible ‘crush space’ for student study and receptions
