Communication, Culture and Technology Building
University of Toronto Mississauga |

 Located at the edge of the Campus, the new Communication, Culture and Technology Building assumes the role of an interface. Organized along the principal façade, the building is closely bordered by a park on one side and a new courtyard garden on the other. Its main circulation creates a linear public space that provides a line of connection between the Student Centre and the future library as well as between the landscape and the building’s public and educational spaces. CCT becomes a place of transition, adjacency and inhabitation all at once.

Jury Comment:
Shrouded in an exquisitely crafted glass veil, the principal internal environments, lobby and circulation spaces, are inventively interwoven, and filtered with visual fragments of the surrounding wood, lawn and campus court. A tightly controlled and precisely managed materiality ensures that the magic of this effect is both consistent and multifarious. |
