Site update for Lash Miller, University of Toronto
The expansion of the Lash Miller building is progressing! The concrete work is almost complete.
The construction process involves installing the formwork for concrete columns and ribbed slabs, pouring the concrete, removing the formwork and repeating the process on the next floor until the building is complete.
The building's load-bearing structures are designed to meet the various program and space requirements and ensure future adaptability. An in-situ cast-in-place ribbed slab structure on a concrete column grid is used to reduce concrete consumption by 20% compared to flat slabs. The 11 meter span ensures flexibility in organizing lecture rooms and laboratories with circulation around the perimeter allowing for maximum daylight to the floor plan.
The project is being carried out in close collaboration with the University of Toronto and consultants Cumulus Architects and Arup Engineering, as well as a number of sub-consultants.
Mikkelsen Arkitekter is the lead design architect on the project and we look forward to delivering the extension to the University of Toronto campus in summer 2026.
