University of Toronto – John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design (DFALD)

General Info

About the Project

Project Description

The new DFALD facility dramatically transformed the original 1874 neo-Gothic building into a centre for education and research and a model for sustainability and urban design. A north-facing 3-storey expansion houses flexible design studios, fabrication spaces and research labs. Planning for the project included a series of outward-looking pavilions, one of which will become the home of the Global Cities Institute, a new cross-disciplinary research centre. Old and new together are a model of sustainable construction, complete with built-in resiliency and the ability to transform over time. Leading sustainable design practices are modeled and showcased, including energy efficient lighting, separate metering of lighting and receptacle loads, rainwater harvesting, , bicycle parking, and a green roof.
