The Trent University Student Centre’s architecture fuses the building with the Otonabee River landscape; it offers a respectful contemporary response to the materiality and formal logic of the Ron Thom campus and draws students together to make meaningful connections. The building’s detailing—including strong horizontal expression and judicious balance of generous glazing with photo-etched precast concrete—communicates with the university’s architectural legacy, creating a dynamic backdrop to daily activities. Showcasing contemporary learning and teaching spaces around a central, three-storey atrium, the interior becomes a crossroads for daily student life and is a luminous and porous counterpoint to the original campus architecture.
