We are pleased to recommend aTRR for any health care work and appreciate the commitment and service they have provided and continue to provide to us on an ongoing basis.

The Peterborough YMCA has become a vibrant centre for recreational and leisure activity and has been fondly embraced by both our membership and the community at large

The team at architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson led by Scott Robinson engaged staff from MLEMS and worked collaboratively to understand our vision, the needs of our operation, and to design a functional space that houses a two bay ambulance station, logistics garage, decontamination bay, training, and administrative staff. The building has been designed to meet our service and communite needs for many years, with growth opportunity built into the design.

Tom and his team were very responsive to our own ideas about the design and functionality of the building, and many of our ideas found their way into the final plans. The end result is a revitalized building that has had a very positive impact on our Department and become a centerpiece of the University.

There were incredibly tight timelines – 2 years – associated with this project, and given the fact that it was a complicated structure housing a variety of interests ie. Science labs, clinics, classrooms, student spaces and offices, meaning there were a lot of diverse needs and personalities at the table, aTRR easily rose to the challenge…The College is very proud to have this building out front and centre as it is truly awe-inspiring both inside and out. People have nothing but positive comments about the building and I expect this will be true for many years to come.

The Municipality’s experience with architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson, specifically Scott Robsinson, has been a positive experience. Scott has always made himself available for meetings and phone discussions and has provided valued expertise in answering questions raised throughout this process…The facility being constructed reflects the vision of the community and extends its life expectancy for generations to come.

aTRR delivered on every facet of the project, starting with a compelling proposal. This was followed by a widely consultative design process which yielded a brilliant concept for re-aligning the outmoded and bland interior, while preserving and enhancing the visually commanding exterior. There was ample on-site presence and consultation, as well as continuous and consistent communication.

We have found architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson to be a quality firm with design expertise and a depth of resources that were able to address our varying requirements. Our relationship with aTRR was very positive as was their working relationship with the general contractor and the sub-contractors throughout the project.

Throughout the design process the YMCA found aTRR to be mindful of our programmatic needs while challenging us to consider the allocation and use of space in innovative ways. The end result is a stunning, practical and efficient building that inspires and cements the YMCA’s position as a hub of community.

McMichael, who was the Architect for the office project, was very much in tune with what our vision was for a new office space. His unique vision to connect the two spaces in a fluid and open concept was very well executed. Using a 3D video model to give us a virtual walk through was extremely helpful for our faculty and staff to get a real sense of the new space. It was a brilliant approach. The feedback we received from internal and external guest even a year after are very positive and the space is trend setting for the rest of Humber College.
