Keep your eyes on this one. It might not be the most spectacular building, but it promises to be one of our more interesting developments. It will really help anchor that little area as an important knowledge centre along with CIGI and Perimeter.

This is the kind of thing that makes Waterloo stand out. (Who needs the CN Tower?)

No, but I was told it will be made to match the Segram's buildings in the area and will be 2-3 stories. It will be built in such a way as to permit more floors to be added. And it will actually be 2 buildings.

They held the first annual social event for the Balsillie School on Friday. Very fancy. Looks like everything is on track.

Yup, held at CIGI.

As for renderings I haven't seen anything yet. All I've been told is that there will be lots of space. They seem to be concerned with the inside, making sure it will be a nice work/school environment.

A similar article about this was in the Globe and Mail yesterday.

Awesome... and involved with Enviro. Studies no less... perhaps I'll have a class with him in the future???

Yup, this has been a done deal for a while but it just now became 'public'. It should be a big boost of confidence for the new school.

According to www.balsillieschool.ca as of April 14, six architect firms have been chosen to meet with about a design:

* Baird Sampson Neuert
* Diamond & Schmitt Architects
* IBI Group
* KPMB Architects
* Moriyama & Teshima Architects
* Teeple Architects

AS in they have submitted a design, or decided they will be submitting one?

jcollins Apr 15, 2008 8:18 PM
They have submitted designs and will be interviewed

Waterlooian4Life Apr 15, 2008 10:00 PM
They have submitted their proposals to design. The next phase is a competition those six firms will submit a design and then those interviews will be the final decision as to who the architect will be.

I hope whatever design they have finally decided to go with. The Balsillie School of International Affairs new campus should, not only standout against Perimeter across the road but also live up to the guy it named after (co-founder of RIM). It is all about innovation.

I might have some more info soon. Fingers crossed.
