Overview

This project was a key component in the revitalization of College Avenue Campus including Darke Hall. The new 80,000 square foot head office is contemporary and “of its time” while drawing inspiration from the historic collegiate gothic buildings of the University of Regina’s original campus.

The building provides a new accessible lobby for Darke Hall, a leading-edge business incubator, a public three storey atrium, and a public coffee shop. Park users can enjoy a new exterior courtyard along with other amenities.

The interior design was a first for Saskatchewan at this scale. Designed as a flexible “address free” environment, the spaces were designed around tasks and not around individuals. Maximizing opportunities to collaborate was a critical design consideration. The project demonstrates P3A’s interior design skill at translating a unique client program need into a built form.
