Preface The development of the MacKimmie Library Concept Design process included a series of design workshops and team meetings to present progress to date and to discuss opportunities to explore common design connections. A pivotal moment during this phase of the work occurred on December 16 th and 17 th at a team design charrette in Toronto. During this session it was determined that three very strong programmatic concepts emerged. The first being the “Town Square” concept which promotes the MLB / MLT Link as a transparent primary pedestrian and student gathering node within the University Campus. This town square is strategically located at or near the heart of campus and serves several key functions including a new front door to MLB / MLT, a main entrance to the new TFDL, and is a major intersection and link to the campus pedestrian network. The second is that the Tower is best suited for Workplace environments and should be developed as such, while the Block is best suited for Academic functions and should be developed as such. The third and central to the project vision is the strong visual link between Swan Mall the interdisciplinary and common social space programmed around the perimeter of the Block and ground floor of the Tower. As a comprehensive design team we recognize there is much work ahead in resolving the programmatic space requirements and the exterior synthesis of the MLT/MLB. We believe that the functional and programmatic links to the Campus Master Plan Vision are critical to the success of repurposing of the MacKimmie Library. Our design team looks forward to the opportunity to explore and refine solutions around the program and the exterior expression of the MacKimmie project. In our opinion we have made significant progress so we ask that you consider where we are as a snapshot in the early stages of the overall design process.
