TORONTO, June 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — IBI Group (TSX:IBG) will lead the consultant team, as part of the design-build contract awarded to Pomerleau Inc. on behalf of The University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC), for a 750-bed Passive House Student Residence. The project aims to become one of the largest Passive House projects in North America, incorporating advanced energy efficiency principles and construction techniques. It will provide much needed student housing to the UTSC inventory to accommodate both short- and long-term campus growth projections, and is envisioned to become a social hub on the north campus, incorporating student life spaces and a large dining hall/servery. Consulting work is commencing immediately, with an anticipated project completion of December 2022.

The project also places great importance on the use of natural light, reducing the reliance on artificial light sources.“The awarding of this project further raises the profile of our global Learning+ practice, and our commitment to advanced sustainability,” said Stephen Donnelly, IBI Group Associate in Charge of the project. “We look forward to collaborating with Pomerleau, the University and other members of the design team.”As design lead, IBI Group will now begin to mobilize a multidisciplinary team to build upon the Bridging Contract Document (BCD) package developed by the University and its consultants to-date.IBI Group is also Architect of Record for significant Passive House projects 1075 Nelson St., and 825 Pacific St. (Artist’s Studios) in Vancouver, B.C.
