in canada since 1997, Hok has over 200 people in its calgary, ottawa, toronto, and Vancouver offices. architects, interior designers, landscape architects, planners, graphic designers, and space programmers work in collaboration. this ensures a consistent vision throughout a project, from its overall design concept to the smallest, carefully considered details.

Hok combines global reach with local understanding. We have offices all around the world, which means that projects everywhere benefit from a team of experts with both international perspective and intimate knowledge of regional issues.

Hok’s canadian teams offer experience in almost every sector: healthcare, corporate, retail, hospitality, science and technology, residential, education, government, justice and institutional. Every project is an opportunity to champion environmental responsibility. We have pioneered sustainable design for more than 15 years with books, research, and a commitment to the environment that is integrated into all our design and service businesses. our creative problem-solving and client-based services result in loyal clients and successfully completed projects.

i n t r o d u c t i o n

Hok canada’s list of satisfied clients includes eight universities and colleges across canada, as well as the LEEd platinum king abdullah university of science and technology in saudi arabia. our experience includes planning and designing entirely new campuses and buildings and expansions and renovations to existing buildings.

Hok’s track record includes academic environments on more than 200 campuses around the world. drawing from our international roster of campus planners, architects, interiors designers, programmers and landscape architects, we can complement the canadian team with specialists for educational projects of any scale and any type.

Hok’s buildings and campuses are designed to bring learning to life, nurturing feelings of collegiality, encouraging interaction among departments, inspiring students and faculty to strive for excellence. We recognize that landmark buildings help to attract donors, corporate partners, faculty and students. We also recognize that landmark buildings often fit within existing campuses, requiring a deft balance between unique identity and contextual fit with surrounding buildings and natural features. adaptability and flexibility are necessary to accommodate changing technologies, programs and teaching styles.

universities and colleges have been among the first institutions to embrace sustainability and commitment to the environment as core values, driven by demand from students and faculty. Hok is advancing sustainable design for every building type, geographic region and budget level. our people are impassioned by the opportunity to design healthy, environmentally friendly buildings that improve our planet’s overall environmental condition.

as with all its projects, Hok’s approach to designing for learning is extremely collaborative. this typically means facilitating large groups of stakeholder representatives, often from many

different departments and programs, often involving students, faculty, operations and maintenance, and administration. the most forward-thinking design solutions often emerge out of our lively brainstorming sessions.

“Scientists walk into the lab and say ‘wow’ because of how functional it is. Non-scientists walk in and say ‘wow’ because of how beautiful it is,”

h o K u n D e rS ta n D S yo u r c h a l l e n g e S .1. Designing for Existing Campuses: Most canadian college and university campuses are struggling to identify opportunities for future orderly growth within an existing campus framework. Hok’s new L Building for Humber college takes every advantage of its central location to create a campus centrepiece that complements the historically designated Lakeshore campus.

2. Forging Community Connections: important community relationships between universities and colleges and their neighbours must be supported architecturally. Hok’s expansion to carleton university’s residence commons creates a new front door for the campus that is vibrant and welcoming and transforms leftover open space into an attractive public amenity.

3. Revitalizing Outdated Campus Buildings: in today’s economic climate, accommodating increasing student enrollment within aging academic facilities is a common but difficult task. carleton university’s undergraduate chemistry teaching labs were overcrowded and outdated. now the colourful superLab is winning rave reviews for its combination of functionality and good looks.

4. Embracing Sustainability: canadian educational institutions are all aiming for a high degree of sustainability. the university of alberta’s Edmonton clinic Health academy is designed to archive practical and effective sustainability in a harsh northern climate with a high-performance envelope and aggressive energy recovery systems.

5. Engaging Faculty and Students: the success of new university and college projects depends upon faculty

and student engagement. at Humber college Hok interfaced with user groups to evolve the digital Media and communications centre from a windowless studio with massive cabling into an open, flexible space that supports dynamic learning.

6. Accommodating Change: Educational programs and technologies are changing at a tremendous rate. Hok anticipates many of these changes, but often change is unimaginable. at the large Edmonton clinic Health academy, rather than customizing every department, Hok created a Master plan for offices and research spaces with similar layouts and minor variations to provide maximum flexibility.

7. Enhancing Student Learning: the more students interact with faculty and other students, the more likely they are to learn. the Edmonton clinic Health academy is designed to

encourage interaction and collaboration incorporating research, teaching and student amenities under one roof.

8. Attracting Industry Partners: university / industry partnerships increase opportunities for research and development. Hok has recently been responsible for designing two state-of-the-art research and laboratory facilities that support such partnerships: Greencentre canada at Queen’s university and university of Guelph’s centre for Biodiversity Genomics.

9. Implementing Various Project Delivery Methodologies: Educational institutions are increasingly looking for alternate methods to finance and deliver capital projects. Hok is currently working with every type of project delivery method including design build, project management, stipulated sum, and p3 in both planning/design/compliance and design /Build/Finance/Maintain roles.

canada’s largest college and university campuses are becoming in fact self-contained cities with all the required amenities and facilities for living, working, studying, and enjoying life. yes, they have teaching facilities but they also have cafes and restaurants, athletic facilities, child care centres, offices, research centres, healthcare centres, transit hubs, and retail services of all kinds, including dry cleaners, grocery stores, post offices, and travel agents. add to this, the normal list of teaching facilities – labs, large lecture theatres, breakout spaces, spaces for spontaneous interaction, outdoor gathering spaces – and it is evident that, for most institutions, working with an architecture firm with experience beyond the educational sector is a great advantage.

Hok works in almost every industry sector. We tailor our teams to individual projects and are able to pull together quickly the multi-disciplinary experts who can work together and satisfy a multitude of campus needs.

necessity is the mother of invention. today, our clients’ goals for doing more with less have created unprecedented opportunities to renew their existing environments in ways that make sound economic and environmental sense.

in this new climate, we’re helping forward-thinking organizations like universities and colleges approach goals for asset reuse and optimization, energy efficiency, and resource conservation as business imperatives.

With its integrated architectural, engineering, interior design, planning, and sustainability consulting services, Hok is helping clients revitalize everything from individual workplaces to buildings, sites, and global real estate portfolios. We’re excited about the opportunity to help our clients improve their business results while moving the world toward a low-carbon economy and enhancing the quality of people’s lives.

We work with clients on renewal opportunities throughout the life cycle of a built environment – from master plans and strategy through design and construction, operations and maintenance, and occupancy. regardless of size, renewal projects have their own set of considerations that go beyond those traditionally associated with new building design. We customize our services by assembling the right Hok rEnEW experts for each assignment.

Hok works in alliance with the Biomimicry Group, the world’s premier bio-inspired innovation company, to use nature’s principles to help solve design and engineering challenges sustainably. this exclusive relationship equips us to integrate nature’s innovations into the planning and design of buildings, communities and cities worldwide and promises to reduce the negative environmental impact of our projects.

Engaging the Biomimcry Group in our design process provides a forum of critical intersection, promoting genuine understanding and respect among the entire project team. this unique partnership provides a fundamentally different way of looking at things. We are not designing objects, we are designing a symbiotic way of living through observing and assimilating a delicate and dynamic choreography between societies of flora and fauna, and even humans. this is not a new approach rather it is one that has been embraced by older, so-called less sophisticated societies for centuries.

typically the Hok and Biomimicry team explore together the principle that life creates conditions conducive to life. the result is bio-mimetically inspired design, locally attuned and resiliently responsive to naturally integrated cyclic processes. designs that follow the natural world’s lead utilize benign manufacturing, leverage interdependencies, and optimize rather than maximize energy use to produce awe-inspiring built form.

When completed in the summer of 2011, the L Building will be the centrepiece of Humber’s Lakeshore campus, the historically designated site of the Former Lakeshore psychiatric Hospital. the design complements the scale of the existing historical buildings and academic quadrangle. its ceremonial entrance is on axis with the most prominent building on the quad. its materials palette of masonry, glass, zinc, wood and concrete is subdued in deference to its neighbours. in spite of the aggressive design-build schedule, the Hok team engaged in extensive research and study into the site’s history and facilitated an interactive design process with faculty and students.

Hok’s three-storey expansion to the existing residence commons will inject style and energy into the entire residential precinct when it opens at the end of 2011. “alive” and “vibrant” were high on carleton’s wish list along with an identifiable front door to the overall campus and a public image to attract new students. Four key concepts - collide, conceal, Bridge and Expose – inspired the design. Viewed from the street, the expansion collides with the existing, concealing its outdated façade. inside, clear circulation paths bridge the two buildings, while a multi-storey lightwell exposes their differences.

Hok’s design team recognized early on that the large floor plates of this 570,500-square-foot academic health sciences facility would make orientation and wayfinding a major issue for its 3,500 students. the design solution is a clearly articulated, highly accessible Main street, which acts as the primary circulation route. this Main street, along with open vertical circulation fosters student, faculty and researcher interaction. Layered transparency and abundant natural light at the building’s lower levels, the focus of student activity, will encourage a culture of movement and serendipitous interaction. the LEEd registered project will open in september, 2011.
