DSRA 15125 – Workshop 01 Presentation
We’re back with the 3rd installment of the IDEA Building integrated design workshops. This time we’ve moved to the T-room on Sexton Campus and are starting at 5:30pm based on requests. Pizza will be provided.
The agenda looks like this:
About 45 students, faculty, and staff participated in the IDEA Building Integrated Design Workshop #2 held on November 25, 2015 at the Exhibition Room in the Medjuck Building. Thanks for participating!
We are underway reviewing the feedback and will return in 2016 to update everyone on our progress and check-in to determine if we’re headed in the right direction. The next session will be planned as an evening session starting at 6pm to ensure that engineering students are able to attend given their class schedules.
The second Integrated Design Workshop is upcoming – November 25, 2015 to be exact. We’re headed again to the Exhibition Room of the Medjuck Building on Sexton Campus from 2:00pm to 5:00pm. Our mechanical, structural, and architectural team will be present. Please plan to attend.

Dalhousie University is poised to transform its downtown Sexton Campus and with a new academic building called the IDEA (Innovative Design in Engineering & Architecture) Building. The focus of this new building is to provide modern space for students to learn the art of design through hands-on experience, and increase interaction and collaboration between students in the Faculties of Engineering, and Architecture & Planning. The IDEA Building represents the first new construction academic building on Dalhousie’s Sexton Campus since the university merged with the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS) in 1997. The IDEA building will be a substantial contribution to campus – both functional and visual.
Ongoing consultation and engagement with students, faculty, and staff is underway through in-person stakeholder meetings, planned public open integrated design workshops, and through this blog. The blog is intended as an online platform for receiving comments from interested students, faculty and staff regarding the design of the IDEA Building. Comments will be received, noted and responded to on the blog site. Comments will assist in informing the design between now and January / February 2016.
Thank you!
