Centre des sciences de la santé Daphne Cockwell ; Bibliothèque centrale Hazel McCallion
Kristen D’Penna
« En tant qu’étudiante, je passe souvent du temps dans des établissements d’enseignement et je me souviens particulièrement de mon expérience au Centre des sciences de la santé Daphne Cockwell. J’avais assisté à plusieurs cours dans les salles de classe juste avant que les universités ne soient fermées en 2020. Le bâtiment est situé à l’extrémité sud du campus de l’université métropolitaine de Toronto et a été conçu par Perkins & Will. L’objectif du bâtiment était en fait de réunir les différentes facultés des sciences de la santé, mais les salles de cours du campus sont souvent utilisées par plusieurs facultés. Je me souviens de la flexibilité des espaces et de la grande quantité de lumière du jour qui y pénétrait. Par le biais de son programme, la conception du bâtiment tente de rendre plus sains les espaces d’apprentissage des soins de santé. La documentation relative à la conception indique que celle-ci se concentre sur les matériaux de construction sains, la qualité de l’environnement intérieur, la lumière du jour, les vues et d’autres initiatives durables. Le bâtiment a été conçu avec l’engagement de la faculté et des étudiants dès le départ, ce qui est un indicateur positif de qualité. D’après mon expérience, le bâtiment est stimulant, adaptable et propice au bien-être. En parvenant à ces perceptions, j’ai pu sentir qu’il avait été conçu pour mon confort et mes besoins en tant qu’étudiant.
J’étudie actuellement à l’Université métropolitaine de Toronto, mais comme beaucoup d’autres étudiants de cette école, je fais la navette depuis une autre ville de la région du Grand Toronto. J’habite près du centre-ville de Mississauga, où se trouvent plusieurs sites publics que je connais bien. La bibliothèque centrale Hazel McCallion (anciennement Central Library) est un bâtiment dans lequel j’ai passé beaucoup de temps en tant qu’étudiant. Une bibliothèque publique est un excellent exemple d’espace qui devrait incarner la qualité par sa capacité à inclure tous les âges, à être accessible à tous les publics et à constituer un espace d’apprentissage agréable. La bibliothèque a été construite dans les années 90 et est située dans un bloc contenant la principale place publique, et est également adjacente à l’hôtel de ville. Il est donc impératif que les visiteurs du bâtiment et du site se sentent bien accueillis et que la bibliothèque soit conçue pour répondre à leurs besoins. La place publique avait déjà été attribuée par la Fondation Rick Hansen et tous les bâtiments du site sont également accessibles. La bibliothèque offre une expérience équitablement accessible du bâtiment grâce à la disposition des circulations et des vues. L’orientation à travers le bâtiment est très claire et les connexions visuelles offrent des possibilités de favoriser la communauté. Le bâtiment contribue également au bien-être grâce à son vaste vitrage en hauteur pour la lumière du jour et à ses vues sur les jardins, la végétation et l’activité de la rue. L’espace intérieur s’inspire de l’idée de qualité en tant que conception qui tient compte de l’inclusion, de l’accessibilité et du bien-être afin de contribuer à un sentiment de participation à la ville. » (Livret Expériences Vécues Positives de la Qualité dans l’Environnement Bâti 2023, p.127).

Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex ; Hazel McCallion Central Library
Kristen D’Penna
« As a student, I often spend time in educational facilities and I particularly remember my experience of the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Centre. I had experienced several lectures from my courses in the classrooms just before the universities went into lockdown in 2020. The building is located on the south edge of the Toronto Metropolitan University Campus and was designed by Perkins & Will. The purpose for the building was actually to unite the different faculties of Health Sciences however, lecture rooms throughout the campus are often used across many faculties. I can recall the flexibility of the spaces and the vast amounts of daylight pouring in. Through its program, the design of the building attempts to make spaces for learning about healthcare, healthier. Documentation of the design indicated that the design focused on healthy building materials, indoor environmental quality, daylight, views and other sustainable initiatives. The building had been developed with engagement from faculty and students at its inception which is a positive indicator of quality. In my experience, the building is stimulating, adaptive, and conducive to wellbeing. In achieving these perceptions, I could feel it was designed for my comfort and needs as a student.
I currently study in Toronto Metropolitan University but like many other students of this school, I commute from another city in the Greater Toronto Area. I live near the downtown core of Mississauga where there are several public sites that I am more familiar with. The Hazel McCallion Central Library (formerly Central Library) is a building that I have spent a great deal of time in as a student. A public library is a prime example of a space that should embody quality through its ability to be inclusive of all ages, accessible to all of the public, and a pleasant learning space. The library was built in the 90s and is located in a block containing the major public square, and is also adjacent to the city hall. It is then imperative that visitors of the building and site feel welcome and that it is designed for their needs. The public square had previously been awarded by the Rick Hansen Foundation and all of the buildings on the site are accessible as well. The library engages equitably accessible experiences of the building through its layout of circulation and views. Wayfinding through the building is very clearly laid out and the visual connections engage opportunities for fostering community. The building also contributes to wellbeing through its vast overhead glazing for daylight and its views to gardens, vegetation, and street activity. The interior space engages the idea of quality as design that addresses inclusivity, accessibility and wellbeing to contribute to a sense of participation in the city. » (Booklet Positive Lived Experiences of Quality in the Built Environment 2023, p.124).
