Ryerson University built a new mixed-used academic and residence building known as “Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex”. This multifunctional hub was designed by architects Perkins & Will and is 27 storeys. The building includes underground parking garage of 4 floors. The academic and administrative podium levels 1 to 9 house Ryerson’s Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing; Midwifery Education; the School of Nutrition, the School of Occupational and Public Health; the Communications, Government & Community Engagement department; University Advancement; Food Services and a Fabrication Zone. The residential tower is 18 floors from level 10 to 27 and accommodates 332 students in 100 residential units. The project achieved LEED GOLD certification with a mechanical design that utilizes the energy efficiently and reduces the energy consumption. The project consists of 3 main mechanical rooms; heating mechanical room on lower level 3; mechanical room on level 9 and mechanical room on level 28. This was a Toronto Green Standard Tier 1 project. The heating source is provided through Enwave, while the cooling is provided locally through a chilled water system in the Academic floors. The heating and cooling in the Residence tower are provided through the same piping system through a chiller and heating boilers in the Penthouse mechanical room. The cooling in the academic building is distributed through the active chilled beams to reduce the energy consumption.
