The project was delivered in two phases. Phase One focused on the Academic Quadrangle, where RDH provided schematic and design development services for the roof enclosure, advising on assembly options and water management strategies to extend service life. Field review during construction confirmed alignment with design intent. Phase Two expanded the scope to include the Convocation Centre, Fountain Square, and the Transportation Centre. RDH also supported roof renewals at West Mall, the Education Building, and Hamilton Hall, providing a comprehensive enclosure renewal across the core of the campus.
