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.

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.

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.

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.

McMichael, who was the Architect for the office project, was very much in tune with what our vision was for a new office space. His unique vision to connect the two spaces in a fluid and open concept was very well executed. Using a 3D video model to give us a virtual walk through was extremely helpful for our faculty and staff to get a real sense of the new space. It was a brilliant approach. The feedback we received from internal and external guest even a year after are very positive and the space is trend setting for the rest of Humber College.

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.

We have found architects Tillmann Ruth Robinson to be a quality firm with design expertise and a depth of resources that were able to address our varying requirements. Our relationship with aTRR was very positive as was their working relationship with the general contractor and the sub-contractors throughout the project.

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.

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.
