York University TEL Building – North York, ON

Designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects, the TEL Building (Technology Enhanced Learning) is located on the York University campus and was considered to be cutting edge during its initial inception. The building features 345,000 sq/ft of floor space, 31 classrooms, 42 computer labs, three library and resource centres, a virtual reality centre, a 4000+ student capacity and cost $84 million dollars to build. It was launched as a joint venture between York University and Seneca College as one of their "SuperBuild" projects.

University Of Houston – Calhoun Lofts – Houston, TX

Located on the University of Houston’s campus, the Calhoun Lofts is the largest graduate and professional student housing project in the U.S. Planning for the project began when the university analyzed its projected enrolment numbers and determined that the growing demand for on-campus housing for both single and married graduate and professional students was an issue that needed to be addressed. Designed by Kirksey Architects, the Calhoun Lofts is a $107.8 million, 557,000-square-foot, ten-story, 984-bed, state-of-the-art facility providing a combination of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments featuring 10-foot ceilings. To reduce its carbon footprint, the lofts were designed with energy-efficient concepts to lower overall maintenance costs and provide energy savings. McGill Sun Controls were incorporated as one of the sustainable features of the project in order to meet these goals.
