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. Construction began in November 2001 and was completed shortly after the building opened in September of 2003. The building features modern architecture with large open spaces, sharply designed walls and incorporates smart technology throughout the building. In the TEL Building, natural light is a key design element. McGill Sun Controls were selected to make as much use of the natural light available as possible to animate the large, open spaces.
