Thomson House, formerly known as Maison Charles-脡douard Gravel (Gravel House), was built in 1934 by architects Jean-Julien Perrault and Joseph-Rom茅o Gadbois[1]. It was part of the Golden Square Mile, which, at the beginning of the 20th听century, was the richest district in Canada[2].听
Today, Thomson House is a well-frequented and attractive gathering place for graduate students as it offers everything from study lounges, conference rooms, a restaurant, bars and the newly acquired patio (summer 2010) to its members.
Since its acquisition by the University, Thomson House serves as the PGSS headquarters.听
Project Description:
This project consists in increasing the exterior accessibility of the Thomson House. The scope includes the installation of automatic door openers at the south entrance, the improvement of the cobblestone path around the building, and the reconstruction of the accessibility ramp at the south entrance.
Project Context:
Since at least the 2015-2016 school year, there has been an interest in making the Thomson House building accessible to all students. The current design of the building creates barriers to some visitor. The current project aims to reduce the barriers in accessing the building. The current situation was further exacerbated during the construction of McTavish Street and highlighted access deficiencies.
Project Scope:
Included in the project scope is the installation of automatic door openers and card access reader in the south entrance of the building, the improvement of the cobblestone path around Thomson House building and from Peel street to the building to make it accessible, as well as the improvement of the existing ramp connecting the parking to the south entrance of the building. The installation of a new path connecting Peel street and the south entrance might be included in the project scope.
Excluded from the scope of works is any modification in the interior of the building, except those directly related to the installation of the automatic door openers and card reader in the South entrance of Thomson House.
Below are three visual renderings of the preliminary designs for the necessary, functional improvements.听
