Ryerson hires design team for $8M photo gallery
TORONTO
Ryerson University has chosen Toronto-based Diamond and Schmitt Architects to develop and design the new $8 million Ryerson Photography Gallery and Research Centre.
The centre will be located at 122 Bond Street, in the School of Image Arts building at the heart of the Ryerson campus. It will occupy approximately 10,500 square feet and will include several gallery and exhibit spaces, research facilities, and storage areas.
“The Ryerson Photography Gallery and Research Centre will create learning opportunities to engage and inspire students, visitors, scholars and educators,” said Donald Schmitt, principal-in charge. “It will be a place of stories told by the images of people who have played a role in the history of the 20th century.
“It is our role as architects and coordinators of the design team to create a place where these stories are conserved and brought to life.”
The university is expected to start work on the renovation project within a year. No design work has been done as yet.
Other members of the Diamond and Schmitt team are: LORD Cultural Resources (gallery planning); Crossey Engineering Ltd. (lighting design, mechanical and electrical engineering); Halcrow Yolles (structural engineers); Aercoustic Engineering (acoustical consultants); H.H. Angus (vertical transportation); T. Harris Environmental (asbestos management); LMDG (building code consultants; Ehvert Engineering Inc. (communications distribution); and CFMS Consultants Inc. (commissioning consultant).
