Occupying 50,000 sf of a mixed-use building in downtown Toronto, the Université de l'Ontario français (UOF) is one of Canada’s newest universities focussed on the mobilization and creation of French-language education in Ontario. A fit-out renovation transforms the entire second floor into the inaugural campus – introducing a new vision for academic design that encourages flexible student-faculty interaction. Extending behind a wide span of glazing is a raised supergraphic layered with exterior UOF signage – a billboard easily seen from the adjacent highway to proudly announce UOF’s arrival.
