“HOK did an awesome job.
The L Building design provides
100,000 square feet of student
space, complements the existing
historic context and provides a
long-needed central front door
to the campus.”
- Peter McAlister, Project Manager for
Humber College L Building

We embrace our opportunity and unique responsibility as one of the world’s most influential design firms to advance sustainable design awareness, proficiency and innovation for every building type, geographic region and budget level.
By developing solutions to enhance aesthetic goals while limiting resource consumption, improving building performance and promoting occupant health and productivity, HOK is leading the way to an increasingly sustainable future.
U N M AT C H E D E X P E R T I S E
In the early ‘90s, HOK chose to build sustainable design into all practice areas, service offerings and regional offices rather than creating a separate specialty group. Our commitment emanates from every level of the organization—from Sustainable Design Principal Bill Odell, to a network of “Champions” in each regional office and practice area.
More than 840 HOK employees have become LEED-accredited through the U.S. Green Building Council and Green Building Certificate Institute. All employees have access to a database of best practices, green materials, case studies and progressive industry resources.
Long before the creation of the LEED green building rating system, HOK developed sustainability checklists by phase and topic. These resources served as the foundation for The HOK Guidebook for Sustainable Design, widely recognized as one of the design profession’s seminal textbooks.
TA N G I B L E R E S U LT S
HOK has convincingly demonstrated that “green” projects can be delivered without compromising aesthetic goals, building performance or budget constraints.
Our built projects include office buildings, laboratories, corporate campuses, courthouses, museums, schools and master-planned communities throughout the world. HOK currently has 138 LEED certified projects, 10 BREEAM rated projects and more than 275 projects actively pursuing certification.
L E A D I N G B Y E X A M P L E
In our daily operations and professional practices, HOK leads by example:
• In 2002, HOK adopted a firmwide policy that all subsequent company office relocations and renovations were to be built to LEED-CI certification standards.
• Twelve HOK offices, including Toronto have since been certified. The Toronto, Atlanta, London, Hong Kong and Beijing offices have achieved a LEED-CI Gold rating. Our Chicago and New York offices have earned the LEED-CI Platinum rating.
• HOK people serve as leaders and active participants in green industry events and associations, and are actively involved in local environmental and community organizations.

When completed in the summer of 2011, the L Building will be the centrepiece of Humber’s Lakeshore Campus, the historically designated site of the Former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital. The design complements the scale of the existing historical buildings and academic quadrangle. In spite of the aggressive design-build schedule, the HOK team engaged in extensive research and study into the site’s history and facilitated an interactive design process with faculty and students.

HOK’s three-storey expansion to the existing Residence Commons will inject style and energy into the entire residential precinct when it opens at the end of 2011. “Alive” and “vibrant” were high on Carleton’s wish list along with an identifiable front door to the overall campus and a public image to attract new students. Inside, clear circulation paths bridge the two buildings, while a multi-storey lightwell exposes their differences.

The Biodiversity Institute of Ontario is being expanded to include a new research facility devoted to the development and application of DNA-based approaches for biodiversity analysis. The 37,700-square-foot specialized infrastructure includes a bio-informatics forum, a plant and animal collections facility with dry and wet labs, and augmented DNA sequencing instrumentation. When completed at the end of 2011, the facility will enhance the University’s reputation as a world leader in DNA bar-coding.

HOK designed the 578,000-square-foot academic health sciences facility for 3,500 students. The design solution is a clearly articulated, highly accessible Main Street, which acts as the primary circulation route. Layered transparency and abundant natural light at the building’s lower levels, the focus of student activity, will encourage a culture of movement and serendipitous interaction. The LEED registered project will open in November, 2011.

The Information and Communication Technology Building is a showcase for inter-faculty group dynamics. HOK’s three-day visioning session at the beginning of the project was key to the departments reaching consensus on their key issue: fresh air. Consequently faculty offices are located at the building’s perimeter with operable windows and maximum natural light. The building has become a major campus centre with places for gathering, eating, shopping and relaxation.

The Landscape Ecology Centre occupies Levels 4 and 5 of Carleton’s National Wildlife Research Centre and includes special purpose laboratory areas and a suite of offices and support services. One of the key design considerations was flexibility to accommodate unpredictable future changes in program and technologies. The research spaces permit a wide range of scientific investigations, and the robust, non-constraining services infrastructure can be easily reconfigured in a multitude of ways.

Located in a 1960’s building, Carleton’s undergraduate chemistry teaching labs needed a major overhaul. The conversion into the award-winning SuperLab maximizes the space and provides a clear parti of a core with outer rings. In the animated corridor ring, chalkboard walls invite a spontaneous exchange of ideas. At the core a large open space is divided into four fully equipped teaching quadrants, which can be combined into a single classroom with a single teaching point.

The expansion program is being driven by the need to attract and retain top research talent. Included are two new research facilities, renovations to existing structures, a review of the overall site master plan, and a new wastewater treatment system. HOK has designed a contemporary, flexible research environment that reflects the heritage of St. Andrews and the broader Maritime context. Wet Labs completed 2011. Science Building completed 2012.

This library was designed with intensive and spirited community input – a Maritime tradition. One of the main concerns of the local residents was the preservation of trees and scenic views. The architectural solution was a 20-foot-high steel and glass box. Its green hue and tree-like structure connect with the surrounding woodlands.

With its dramatic view of Georgian Bay, this Visitor Centre is inspired by the site’s geomorphology. The circulation path through the centre mimics the rock plates that cascade down to the water and leads visitors on a continuous route, without stairs or elevators, through two levels of exhibits, support spaces, and a film theatre. Throughout, the building and exhibits present a fully integrated vision of environmental stewardship.

This building establishes a new architectural standard for police facilities in the City of Ottawa. At the very beginning of this project the Design Team conducted a visioning session with key client representatives to clarify the project objectives further. Durability, accessibility, state-of-the-art technologies, and minimal operating costs were no surprise. But what excited the Design Team was the emphasis on openness, accountability, and community.

Capital One’s management vision was the starting point for HOK’s design of its Toronto offices. The need for a dynamic and energetic design that would attract and retain staff was key given the office’s somewhat suburban location. Advances in wireless technology have made it possible to redefine an employee’s workspace parameters. They can easily move from their desks to a variety of meeting and huddle rooms as well as to the bright, colourful staff lounge. In other words, the entire office becomes a work space.

New workstations were to be open concept, departing from the standard high panelled workstation that had become a standard.

Home to some of the best known record labels in the music industry, Warner Music Canada wanted a hip, forward-looking design for its new Canadian head office. One of our challenges was to balance the opposing needs of “heads-down” business teams and “volume-up” music promotion teams. Each group is located within a distinct work “neighbourhood” that connects to a central, multi-purpose community square. The square is designed to encourage interaction among the two groups, their customers, and artists.
