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

This project involves the interior conversion of former office space on the 30th floor of a downtown Toronto high-rise into a satellite campus for the Queen’s University Smith School of Business.

Overlooking Lake Ontario, the design leverages expansive views while establishing a refined, corporate environment aligned with the School’s brand.

Delivered on a highly compressed schedule, the project utilized a Construction Manager and sequential tendering to enable early construction start prior to full design completion. The fit-out was executed in three phases, allowing for incremental expansion while maintaining operational flexibility.

Phase I introduced approximately 7,000 ft² of program space, including an 80-seat tiered classroom equipped with advanced audio-visual systems and designed to convert into an event venue. Supporting spaces included video conferencing suites, meeting rooms, administrative offices, and reception areas.

Phase II expanded the facility with additional teaching, meeting, and student study spaces, along with enhanced event support. The final phase completed the full 25,000 ft² floor plate, adding a second tiered lecture hall, expanded office areas, collaborative spaces, and a dedicated HVAC system. The result is a flexible, high-performance academic environment tailored to executive education and urban engagement.
