The Information Technology Building at the University of Ottawa was designed by IKOY Architects. This building exhibits many of the characteristics that IKOY has been developing since early on in their practice. Exposed/enhanced structural detail is used to create the character of the structure and building. The primary colour palette is reminiscent of earlier IKOY buildings such as the Automotive teaching facility in Winnipeg and the Recreation Centre in Saskatchewan.
