Throughout my association with aTRR I have always been impressed with the professional manner in which they perform their duties. All projects have been completed within budget and all have been designed with the future in mind.

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.

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.

The Peterborough YMCA has become a vibrant centre for recreational and leisure activity and has been fondly embraced by both our membership and the community at large

The modern industrial design combined with the post and beam architecture offers a local café, large event space, accessibility ramp and washrooms, private offices, permanent desks, flex desks, kitchen, meeting rooms, multiple lounges. But more importantly, the space has created an environment where individuals feel creative, connected and excited to be a part of something that truly breathes community. This translates into amplifying their own mission into thriving organizations. As one co-tenant suggests: This is the most vibrant place I’ve ever worked in. I look forward to walking through the doors every single day.

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.

While all of the buildings that were designed by aTRR are both functional and architecturally beautiful, the [Athletics and Fitness Complex & NOVA Chemicals Health & Research Centre] will forever change the landscape of Lambton College. They are two of the most attractive, open and inviting buildings in the Ontario College System…We could not be happier with McMichael Ruth and aTRR and would recommend them for any commercial designs, large scale or small.

From the outset, Scott understood the process of working with our clans, nations and our People. Through conversations, walking through the valley and carefully listening to our ideas and stories, we embarked on a journey together that was both enjoyable and fruitful. His leadership and patience in the many visioning sessions allowed for deep and meaningful engagement that was very much appreciated. He allowed the process to reveal a design that we determined together and that specifically speaks to our culture, values and jurisdiction.

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.

Throughout the design process the YMCA found aTRR to be mindful of our programmatic needs while challenging us to consider the allocation and use of space in innovative ways. The end result is a stunning, practical and efficient building that inspires and cements the YMCA’s position as a hub of community.
