Academic Building; at Lakehead University
The first building on Lakehead University’s new 85-acre Orillia LEED Platinum Campus, the Academic Building set a strong precedent for all future development. A focus on “Future Proof” design, the integration of architecture, landscape, and building systems, and achieving high sustainability metrics is what guided this project. The central Learning Commons is an open, airy, and welcoming space which attracts students and promotes social interaction and collaboration.
