Case Study
Toronto Metropolitan University: School of Medicine
Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Medicine marks a major milestone in the future of medical education in Canada. Located in Brampton, the new facility was envisioned as a purpose-built academic and clinical environment designed to support hands-on learning, research, and community healthcare services.
The atrium is the physical and cultural heart of the School of Medicine. Guided by Indigenous perspectives through collaboration with Two Row Architect and the Toronto Metropolitan University Indigenous Communities Council, its design references Chinguacousy, the Land of Tall Pines. Wood-look metal slats and constellation-inspired lighting connect the building to the land.
Built for Real-World Learning
High-fidelity simulation and anatomy labs were designed to replicate real clinical environments, providing students with hands-on learning experiences. Advanced mannequins & AR tables support immersive training, while carefully coordinated patient headwalls & compressed air systems create realistic, safe, & effective teaching environments that mirror modern healthcare.
