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.

We believe that aTRR took a very collaborative approach throughout the design process, and was patient during the various iterations required to fit all that we wished to accomplish into one building envelope. We felt that aTRR appreciated the history of Boler in the community, and understood the core values and vision which the Board expressed. There was an ability on the part of aTRR to listen to our staff and to Board members, and to understand Boler’s operations and programs to ensure that the final design was functional and efficient.

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.

[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.

I have worked with Tom Tillmann and members of his firm on five residence projects at Western University in the last ten years…I have been very impressed with architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson’s ability to design residences that incorporates the important aspects of residence life. They are good listeners and have included my leadership team in the design process in a very meaningful and constructive manner.

[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.

aTRR clearly understands their role in the design/build process and brings a positive energy to each commission. The result of their design abilities has been recognized with two recent architectural design awards for University College and the FIMS/ Nursing Building which are both excellent examples of Western’s campus architecture. Their personal commitment to getting the job done right, on time and very importantly on budget has led to the reason why Western University has had them working continuously on the campus for the past two decades.

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.

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.

While all of the buildings that were designed by aTRR are both functional and architecturally beautiful, the [Athletics and Fitness Complex & NOVA Chemicals Health & Research Centre] will forever change the landscape of Lambton College. They are two of the most attractive, open and inviting buildings in the Ontario College System…We could not be happier with McMichael Ruth and aTRR and would recommend them for any commercial designs, large scale or small.
