The new Student Health and Wellness Centre is a vital component of our evolving college curriculum. Our numerous health programs will be significantly enhanced by offering a first class learning opportunity to our students.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The aTRR team was integral to helping us realize our vision for this space. Their honest and practical approach to the project enabled us to meet our budget and schedule goals while also completing a project to be proud of. The resultant space provided an improved patient journey and quality of work life for staff.

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.

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.
