Tabaret Hall is the face of the University of Ottawa, and easily the most recognizable building on campus. While the university has continued to rapidly expand, Tabaret Hall and the supporting landscape has become degraded over time. With the addition of roadways, parking lots, and loading requirements, much of the historical character had been lost. A detailed historical landscape and architectural study guided the redesign of the site to restore the historical character while also meeting the functional requirements of a modern and sustainable university campus.
The completed project boasts a renewed building façade, Great Lawn, and a Grande Allée that complements the grandeur of the Hall, highlighting the front door of the university.
