I would highly recommend aTRR for their excellent architectural services, for being extremely professional and for their ability to meet very tight deadlines.

Scott provided remarkable insights into his design that connected the structure with the best features our Northern Ontario landscape has to offer…Through his creative direction, Mr. Robinson produced a final product that is not only unique, but that has greatly enhanced the student and faculty experience, as well as improved the visibility, profile and image of the College…Because of Scott’s dedication, creativity, courage and excellence in creating this state-of-the-art learning facility, we can say with confidence that the impressive three-story glass and steel academic wing will serve as a campus dream for years to come.

Throughout the project, we have come to rely on aTRR for their professionalism, their prompt response time, their ability to navigate the array of stakeholder feedback, their eye for design and efficient use of space, their solution focused resolve, and their enthusiasm. Their commitment to the success of this project has not waivered since the moment they were hired.

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.

From the outset, Scott understood the process of working with our clans, nations and our People. Through conversations, walking through the valley and carefully listening to our ideas and stories, we embarked on a journey together that was both enjoyable and fruitful. His leadership and patience in the many visioning sessions allowed for deep and meaningful engagement that was very much appreciated. He allowed the process to reveal a design that we determined together and that specifically speaks to our culture, values and jurisdiction.

[Tom and Scott]…have demonstrated a strong desire to have our new facility reflect the community’s interests and they understand the importance of designing a facility within the limits of a budget and having regard to long term maintenance and use considerations.

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

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.

Over the past few days, including the Donor Recognition Night and the Grand Opening, there has been little time to thank those most involved in the success of the Maitland Recreation Centre. The project has been a success and the Donor Night and Grand Opening attendance was far beyond our expectations.

[aTRR]…spent a great deal of time consulting with the various user groups of Elgin Hall and were able to incorporate many of the resulting suggestions into the final building design. In addition to the suggestions of user groups, the location of Elgin Hall resulted in special attention being paid to the building exterior and landscaping at the request of both the London and University communities.
