This project was the first building designed to meet LEED Gold/Silver Certification by the Province of Ontario, and the first Campus project to be submitted to the CaGBC for LEED Certification, initiating a new standard for environmental stewardship for public buildings in Ontario.

The scale of the interventions range from the expansive bio-swale and retention pond to the operating windows in the residents bedrooms. It was critical to the intent of the design that natural day-light was available to every occupied space within the entire institution and this was a challenge and a delight to accomplish.
