Gender-neutral and accessible washrooms are implemented throughout the North and South buildings to promote an all-inclusive experience.
Dense wooden framing is used to support these new additions, along with interior finishes and furniture that thematically remind everyone about the Canadian landscapes. Upon entry, visitors are greeted to a nested library located on the basement level with its perimeter lined up with pin-up wooden columns. The nested space houses a cultural circle where non-Indigenous can gather around and be inspired to learn more about Indigenous culture. The proposal focuses on the efficient flow of vertical and horizontal circulation between both North and South buildings. An additional bridge is provided on the third floor to promote effortless access between both structures, eliminating the need to always traverse the second-floor bridge. There is also an emphasis on implementing accessibility strategies – such as installing ramps, TWSIs, additional handrails, and areas of refuge where it is necessary. > Click here to view AVSSU's social media post about the event. |
