Located in the heart of Toronto's business community, the Ted Rogers School of Management building is a joint venture between Ryerson University and The Cadillac Fairview Corporation. Designed by Zeidler Partnership Architects and Queen's Quay Architects International, the Ted Rogers School of Management occupies the top three floors of the nine-floor building which also contains retail and parking areas. Ryerson's portion of the building is three floors and 20,300-square-metres. In addition to Ryerson's three top levels, Cadillac Fairview owns two retail floors, one located in the lower level and the other is at street level. This is followed by three floors of parking.
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the building is one of the few properties in Toronto using the energy efficient Enwave steam and deep lake water cooling system. In the winter, the building is part of a district steam energy system and in the warmer months, water from Lake Ontario is used to cool the building. This alternative heating and cooling system significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption.
A special feature of the space is a central, open air 1,115-square-metre courtyard located in the middle of the first level of Ryerson's three floors. The courtyard can be viewed from all of Ryerson's floors via floor to ceiling glass walls that surround it and extend from the first level to the third level. This open air courtyard allows for natural light to flood all three floors of Ryerson's portion of the building. The courtyard is made of all natural materials, a mix of stone, rock and plant life including the stone benches for seating on the courtyard patio.
