GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE
CENTRE FOR HOSPITALITY AND CULINARY ARTS
George Brown College's School of Culinary Arts is internationally renowned. To support this outstanding program, the college elected to renovate and expand their aging facilities.
The project scope covered two buildings: one, a six million dollar renovation and retrofit of an existing four-storey, 100-year-old building at 215 King Street East in Toronto. This building, The Chefs' House, features a publicly accessible student-run high end restaurant with an open kitchen. The upper floors house teaching facilities and classrooms for the college. The other, a 2009 OAA award-winner for Design Excellence, is a fourteen million dollar addition/renovation to the existing School of Culinary Arts at 300 Adelaide Street East in Toronto. This project consists of a 19,000 square foot addition to the existing 100,000 square foot facility of which approximately 60,000 square feet have been renovated. The Adelaide Street building includes eight state-of-the-art cooking labs along with classrooms and administrative and support space for the program. This project recently received a 2009 OAA Award of Design Excellence.
