Calvin & Tina Tyler Hall, Morgan State University / Teeple Architects + GWWO Architects

Andreas Luco — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 15:00:00 +0000

Morgan State University (MSU) in Baltimore is one of the nation’s premier historically black institutions of higher education—and the largest within the State of Maryland—offering a comprehensive range of undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs. Founded in 1867, the university was designated a ‘National Treasure’ in 2016 by The National Trust for Historic Preservation. Its campus extends from a historic academic quad in a neoclassical style to a campus commons surrounded by modern buildings. Teeple Architects, working in collaboration with GWWO Architects, was tasked with designing a student services centre that would bridge the historic academic quad and the modern campus commons, while also establishing an iconic and uplifting ‘front-door’ to the university.

Trent University Student Center / Teeple Architects

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 26 Jun 2018 11:00:00 +0000

Located at the main entrance to the Trent University’s iconic Symons Campus, the new Student Center is a concise exploration of connections: connecting the building with the bucolic adjacent Otonabee River landscape; connecting new construction to the historical precedent of the surrounding original campus architecture—designed by Canadian modern architectural master Ron Thom; and, most importantly, connecting the students with one another in a dynamic and inspiring setting.

Langara Science & Technology Building / Teeple Architects

Cristobal Rojas — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 20:00:00 +0000

This project is the third phase in the implementation of Langara College’s Master Plan (carried out by Teeple Architects). As in the case of the first two phases (also carried out by our team), the creation of sustainable, vibrant indoor and outdoor environment is a key focus. The new building is a five-storey structure situated at a key entrance to the campus. The building is intended to form an iconic gateway into the campus, emphasized by a bold cantilever.

Boulevard Club West Wing Expansion / Teeple Architects

Daniela Cardenas — Sun, 27 Nov 2016 14:00:00 +0000

The Boulevard Club is an iconic structure on Toronto’s western waterfront, immediately identifiable from both the land and the lake. The new West Wing expansion is a two-storey addition connected to the west side of the historic centre block building that was designed for the Parkdale Canoe Club by Molesworth West & Secord Architects of Toronto in 1923.

John M. Harper Branch Library & Stork Family YMCA / Teeple Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 12:00:59 +0000

This mixed-use Library and Community Recreational facility posed the challenge of bringing together two diverse programs – and the needs of two diverse clients – to create an enhanced community experience. The desire was to create a single integrated facility in which the program elements interact and elevate each other through a series of strategic architectural gestures.

Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum / Teeple Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 10:00:39 +0000

Located within the township of Wembley, Alberta, the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum will be one of the world’s foremost museums of paleontology and natural history. It will tell the fascinating story of the Pipestone Creek Dinosaur Bonebed and how it was discovered and subsequently excavated.

Cossette V7 / Teeple Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Mon, 27 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

This major renovation project involved the dramatic transformation of a former munitions factory into the new Toronto headquarters for the Cossette Media family of agencies.

Port Hope House / Teeple Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Thu, 23 Oct 2014 00:00:00 +0000

The Port Hope House is located on a hundred-acre site bordering Lake Ontario, 5 kilometers outside of the town of Port Hope, Ontario. The property gently slopes southward for a kilometer across farmland, is interrupted briefly by a dense woodlot, and terminates at a 75-foot cliff that falls into the lake.

Sherbourne Common Pavilion / Teeple Architects

Kritiana Ross — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:00:00 +0000

A significant new public space on Toronto’s waterfront, Sherbourne Common Pavilion is conceived as a memory of a lost landscape. The park design is a contemporary topographic abstraction of a pure stream, reminiscent of the one that used to run through the historic site, into the lake. The sculptural form of the pavilion was generated through extensive collaboration with landscape architects, artists and civil engineers who designed the storm water purification for the entire waterfront. The structure is a physical embodiment of the overall vision for the park that focuses on public interaction and connection to water, specifically Lake Ontario. The pavilion plays a significant role in the water purification process, while inter-connecting the various elements of the park.

Montrose Cultural Centre / Teeple Architects

Christopher Henry — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 01:00:00 +0000

This two-storey 50,000 sqf building is a new civic focal point, housing a library, art gallery, event spaces, meeting rooms and a café. Both levels of the structure are interconnected visually as well as by a grade stair case. The public spaces, including the community hall, multiple galleries, community rooms and library circulation desk occupy the main level, while the quiet and secure functions, such as the children’s library, quiet study and administrative offices, are situated on the second level, overlooking many of the double height spaces below.

St. Joseph’s Media / Teeple Architects

Christopher Henry — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

This design for a large media company brings several previously dispersed publications together in a consolidated location on Queen Street East in Toronto. The site is unusual in that it includes the third and fourth levels of adjoining 19th-century warehouse buildings. The introduction of a sky lit interior street unifies the space and the company identity, bringing together over 250 employees of 12 popular Canadian magazines (including Toronto Life and Saturday Night).

Pachter Residence / Teeple Architects

Christopher Henry — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Choosing to live, work and sell his art in one location, the Artist-Owner wanted to bring these program elements together, while keeping their architectural expression distinct. Teeple Architects’ solution came in the form of three long spatial volumes stacked on top of each other, shifted laterally and longitudinally to allow light penetration into the spaces. Each volume houses one aspect of the program; the ground floor volume is the studio, the second floor; the gallery, and the top floor is the residence. The clarity and directness of the concept brings dramatic expression to the sculptural form of the building.

Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church / Teeple Architects

Christopher Henry — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The new Scarborough Chinese Baptist Church, designed by Teeple Architects, has been conceived as a direct reflection of the liturgical vision of its Baptist congregation. This liturgical vision has a dual focus - fellowship, which the church characterizes as horizontal relationships between people, and spirituality, which is seen as a vertical relationship between people and God.

Library and Classroom Building, Langara College / Teeple Architects

Christopher Henry — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

From the project’s inception, Langara College was looking to address the educational and spatial needs of the school, as well as create a sustainable environment to incorporate the new Library and Classroom program. In addition to designing the building, Teeple Architects designed a master plan that offers a strategy to realize the environmentally responsible vision of the College’s future. The decision to create a LEED Gold Campus, supported by sustainable built and natural features, was the starting point for the overall Langara scheme.

Trent University Chemical Sciences Building / Teeple Architects

Christopher Henry — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The Chemical Sciences Building at Trent University is conceived as a promenade, both architectural and natural, that brings one into repeated contact with the Otonabee River, the central focus of Ron Thom’s Trent University campus. Designed by Teeple Architects, it is directly linked to the ground floor of the existing science precinct, and to its +15 circulation system. The promenade weaves between these two levels, presenting views of Trent’s unique river landscape to students as they move through the campus and the building. The river is the constant reference point, ever present in one’s experience of the place.

Nico Saieh — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000

One of Teeple Architects’ latest projects, 60 Richmond East Housing Co-operative, was completed in March of 2010.
