Graham selected for Lawson Centre build at Trinity College
Graham Construction has been awarded the contract to build The Lawson Centre for Sustainability project at Trinity College in Toronto.
The company announced the news on July 20.
The $117-million, LEED Platinum structure will be built using mass timber, and will serve as the heart of Trinity College, centrally connecting existing buildings.
The facility will add 155,000 square feet of mixed-used facilities, including student residences, as well as academic, community and dining spaces.
The academic space will increase the capacity for informal learning, multi-functional programming and minimize single-use spaces. Its dormitory will accommodate 263 students, and a portion of the food services will be supplied by the sustainable food program, harvesting from the building’s rooftop community gardens.
“As part of the revitalization of our historic campus, the Lawson Centre for Sustainability design process has thoughtfully integrated the beauty of our existing buildings with the very best contemporary sustainable design. With a variety of student residences, communal spaces, and dining areas, as well as seminar rooms, faculty offices, and flexible event and learning spaces, the Lawson Centre for Sustainability is designed with the well-being of our community in mind. This state-of-the-art building will help integrate the principles of sustainability into daily life at Trinity College and address one of this generation’s greatest challenges.”
The Lawson Centre is slated for completion May 1, 2025.
