Taro Hall, Goodman School of Business, Brock University

This project involves the renovation and expansion of Taro Hall at Brock University, enhancing the facilities for the Goodman School of Business.

The design introduces new three-storey additions at both the east and west ends of the existing building, linked by a reconfigured ground-floor circulation spine that improves connectivity and wayfinding throughout the complex.

The west addition is defined by a two-storey atrium that establishes a strong presence along the Brock Mall while creating a welcoming front door for the School of Business. This space supports both informal student use and larger events, addressing the need for flexible gathering and study areas. The existing Taro Hall is fully renovated as part of the project, with upgrades to classrooms including new lighting, finishes, and sprinkler systems.

The work was carefully phased to maintain building operations during construction. Early completion of the new additions provided swing space for faculty offices and teaching functions, enabling staged renovation of the existing facilities. Additional upgrades include new security infrastructure aligned with university standards, incorporating CCTV, Code Blue stations, and controlled access systems.
