TORONTO, ON The University of Toronto has chosen Toronto-based Montgomery Sisam Architects (MSA) and U.K.-based Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios as the architects for the new Centre for Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CEIE).

The CEIE will serve as the hub of U of T Engineerings collaborative learning and interdisciplinary research, housing interactive spaces for learning and design, as well as a number of multidisciplinary research centres and institutes. The building will also serve as a home for the Facultys recently launched Entrepreneurship Hatchery, which encourages and supports engineering students interested in launching entrepreneurial ventures.

Located on St. George Street, adjacent to iconic Convocation Hall, the CEIE is targeted to open in 2016.

The new building will encourage informal and spontaneous interaction; for it is often through chance encounters that innovation occurs and entrepreneurial thinking flourishes, said Robert Davies of Montgomery Sisam Architects. Such encounters most often happen in the spaces in between, the halls, stairways, lobbies and passages. Set teaching spaces should be standardized and flexible to allow for change in the future whereas the shared public spaces; lounges, club space should be unique, dynamic and memorable environments.

The Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship is the central component of U of T Engineerings $200 million fundraising effort, part of Boundless: the Campaign for the University of Toronto. Through its interdisciplinary and collaborative intent, the Centre encapsulates Engineerings campaign goals and future, including developing global engineering leaders, nurturing engineering innovation and entrepreneurship, transforming biomedical engineering and human health, advancing information communications technology and reshaping the future of energy, the environment and sustainability.

U of T Engineering Dean Cristina Amon said she is looking forward to working with Montgomery Sisam Architects and Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios on the project. These two firms, with their experience in designing innovative research, learning and teaching spaces, have shown they have the vision to create a signature building that will foster the boundless energy and creativity needed for the future of engineering in Canada, Amon said.

Founded in 1978, Montgomery Sisam Architects (MSA) is a mid-sized architectural firm based in Toronto. MSA has designed such buildings as the Island Yacht Club and the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Centre and has won more than 65 provincial, national and international awards, including the 2011 Architectural Firm Award from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. The firm has extensive ties with the University of Toronto. Many of its architects including Davies are U of T graduates. MSA has worked on other U of T projects, including the revitalization of the St. George Campus Exam Centre, and the Arts and Administration building and Joan Foley Hall at U of Ts Scarborough campus.

Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, also founded in 1978, is based in London, England, and has an international reputation for design quality, for pioneering environmental expertise and a radical architectural approach. It has designed more than 60 educational buildings, in England and around the world.

Professor Emeritus Ron Venter, who chairs the project planning committee for the Centre, said the joint proposal from the two firms was very impressive. Were excited to be working with a local company that understands our vision and an international firm with a global reputation for sustainable, groundbreaking educational buildings.

He noted that MSA has developed several projects in similar urban settings and has particular strengths in addressing community concerns. The architects and the university will work closely with the university community, our neighbours and the City of Toronto as the Centre is designed and built. The end result will be a signature building that we can all be proud of.

Abingtons extensive efforts to address the future school building needs of Abington continues to progress each month.

The school building committee is coordinating its efforts with the states school building authority to ensure that Abington, like other surrounding towns, will reap the benefits of the states agreement to pay for more than 50 percent of Abingtons eventual school construction project.

The towns school building committee is pleased to announce that it has retained the services of Ai3 Architects LLC of Wayland, as the architect for the MSBA-required school feasibility study.

After reviewing all of the resumes and applications submitted by architectural design firms, MSBAs 15-member designer selection panel, along with three Abington School Building Committee representatives, interviewed three finalist firms in Boston on Jan. 22, 2013.

In compliance with MSBA guidelines, the town approved the selection of the Ai3 company to conduct a school feasibility study.

After executing the required contract, Ai3 began its initial investigations and inspections of Abington schools in February 2013.

Ai3 is the only firm in this region that focuses the entire practice on PK-12 educational design, as the firm has previously completed school projects for the nearby communities of Whitman, Hanson and Brockton.

Ai3 has extensive experience in completing comprehensive feasibility studies for middle schools and high schools that identify community concerns, including but not limited to possible grade re-configurations, new busing routes, potential new sites, re-use or expansion of existing school sites, comparison of new construction versus addition/renovation options, investment in technology, energy-efficient and Green buildings, project cost estimates and taxpayer impacts.

At the conclusion of the feasibility study, Ai3 and the Abington school building committee will present the town residents with preliminary building designs, suggested grade level configurations, and proposed site layouts for review and comment by the town and the MSBA.

The cost of the feasibility study was approved by Abington voters in April 2012, which qualified and entitled the town to receive MSBA funding to pay for approximately 54 percent of the studys cost.
