A Transformational Gallery for Ryerson University’s Architecture School

By: Stephanie E. Calvet

Ryerson University needed a gallery to exhibit work and host lectures and events. What it got was much more than that, proving that even the smallest project can be transformative.

From Volume 43 Number 1 | October–December 2014

Abstract: The Department of Architectural Science at Toronto’s Ryerson University was already committed to community engagement. However, the need for a permanent gallery provided a new catalyst. The collaborative nature of the integrated planning process provided the school with an opportunity to revisit its public programming mandate. The school’s transformation through the innovative physical positioning and use of the gallery deepens its dialogue and level of engagement both within the university and with the greater community.
