The Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus (SRIC) West at the University of Toronto, designed by Weiss/Manfredi in collaboration with Teeple Architects, has been recognized with an OAA Design Excellence Award.

Conceived as a vertical campus, SRIC advances the University of Toronto’s mission of connecting academic research and entrepreneurial activity at a pivotal site between campus, Queen’s Park, and the Discovery District. The 13-storey building establishes a new gateway to the university while publicly accessible winter gardens link research neighborhoods and open to terraces overlooking the Toronto skyline. Designed as a cutting-edge hub for AI and Humanities, SRIC fosters collaboration, interaction, and programmatic flexibility within a dense urban setting. Integrating adaptability, openness, and civic presence, it offers a future-forward model rooted in urban, social, and ethical engagement for contemporary research culture.
