I would highly recommend aTRR for their excellent architectural services, for being extremely professional and for their ability to meet very tight deadlines.

The aTRR team was integral to helping us realize our vision for this space. Their honest and practical approach to the project enabled us to meet our budget and schedule goals while also completing a project to be proud of. The resultant space provided an improved patient journey and quality of work life for staff.

We are pleased to recommend aTRR for any health care work and appreciate the commitment and service they have provided and continue to provide to us on an ongoing basis.

[aTRR]…spent a great deal of time consulting with the various user groups of Elgin Hall and were able to incorporate many of the resulting suggestions into the final building design. In addition to the suggestions of user groups, the location of Elgin Hall resulted in special attention being paid to the building exterior and landscaping at the request of both the London and University communities.

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.

We believe that aTRR took a very collaborative approach throughout the design process, and was patient during the various iterations required to fit all that we wished to accomplish into one building envelope. We felt that aTRR appreciated the history of Boler in the community, and understood the core values and vision which the Board expressed. There was an ability on the part of aTRR to listen to our staff and to Board members, and to understand Boler’s operations and programs to ensure that the final design was functional and efficient.

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.

There were incredibly tight timelines – 2 years – associated with this project, and given the fact that it was a complicated structure housing a variety of interests ie. Science labs, clinics, classrooms, student spaces and offices, meaning there were a lot of diverse needs and personalities at the table, aTRR easily rose to the challenge…The College is very proud to have this building out front and centre as it is truly awe-inspiring both inside and out. People have nothing but positive comments about the building and I expect this will be true for many years to come.

Over the past few days, including the Donor Recognition Night and the Grand Opening, there has been little time to thank those most involved in the success of the Maitland Recreation Centre. The project has been a success and the Donor Night and Grand Opening attendance was far beyond our expectations.
