2007年，MDM项目最初是在一个改造过的旧Finning仓库中孵化的，现在它已经超出了以前占用的空间。当时的机会是为该项目创建一个新的、最先进的设施，具有互补的用途，可以增强该项目的成功。MDM项目的学生需要长时间工作、上课和现场参与团队项目。现场为学生提供住宿帮助他们满足这个要求很高的学术项目的要求.将学生住房纳入MDM方案的学术活动也有明显的社会优势。沉浸在学习环境中，培养学生之间的持久关系，这种关系将持续到他们的职业生涯中。

Originally incubated in a retrofitted old Finning warehouse in 2007, the MDM Program had outgrown the space it previously occupied. The opportunity was to create a new state-of-the-art facility for the program with complementary uses that could enhance the success of the program. Students of the MDM Program are required to work long hours attending classes and participating in team projects on-site. Providing students with student housing on-site helps them meet the requirements of this demanding academic program. There is also a distinct social advantage to incorporating student housing with the academic activities of the MDM Program. Immersion in the learning environment fosters lasting relationships between students that will continue into their professional careers.

这一概念受到两个主题或对话的启发-技术和区域主义。这座建筑试图通过在建筑中编织和折叠的姿态来表达节目。该项目由一楼的学术/零售和三层以上的学生宿舍组成。一个单一的带状，折叠和弯曲，收集这些用途，使街道作为催化剂标记在现场。

The concept is inspired by two themes or dialogues - technology and regionalism. This building seeks to express the program through a weaving and folding gesture in the architecture. The program is stacked with academic / retail at the ground floor and three levels of student housing above. A singular ribbon, folding and bending, collects these uses to engage the street as the catalyst marker on the site.

该包装姿态是定向的，以反映学生住房的方向，并尽量减少太阳热量的增加在东和西海拔。折叠从立面向下层叠而下，打开了自己，呈现出大楼西角的大厅入口。外部包装象征工业，用金属表示；内部包装象征地区主义，并以木材的使用来表达。

The wrapping gesture is directional to reflect the orientation of the student housing and to minimize solar heat gain on the east and west elevations. The folds cascade down the facade opening itself and presenting the lobby entry at the west corner of the building. The exterior wrap symbolizes industry and is expressed in the metal; the interior wrap symbolizes regionalism and is expressed in the use of wood.

为了在这个适度的足迹中创造出存在，建筑聚合是由三个建筑元素组成的：学术用途、学生住房使用和带状表达，加入了程序元素。聚集以1比3的比例表示，在建筑的北侧形成了一个景观屋顶。学生的个人住房单元是通过穿孔的窗户来表达的，而底层的学术空间则表现为连续的全高度玻璃。

To create presence within this modest footprint, the building massing is created from three architectural elements: the academic use, the student housing use, and the ribbon expression, joining the program elements. The massing is expressed in a 1-to-3 proportion, creating a landscape roof on the north side of the building. The individual student housing units are expressed through the punched windows, while the ground floor academic space is expressed as a continuous full-height glazing.
