introduction

in canada since 1997, Hok has over 200 people in its calgary, ottawa, toronto, and Vancouver offices. architects, interior designers, landscape architects, planners, graphic designers, and space programmers work in collaboration. this ensures a consistent vision throughout a project, from its overall design concept to the smallest, carefully considered details. Hok combines global reach with local understanding. We have offices all around the world, which means that projects everywhere benefit from a team of experts with both international perspective and intimate knowledge of regional issues.

Hoks canadian teams offer experience in almost every sector: healthcare, corporate, retail, hospitality, science and technology, residential, education, government, justice and institutional. Every project is an opportunity to champion environmental responsibility. We have pioneered sustainable design for more than 15 years with books, research, and a commitment to the environment that is integrated into all our design and service businesses. our creative problem-solving and clientbased services result in loyal clients and successfully completed projects.

Hok canadas list of satisfied clients includes eight universities and colleges across canada, as well as the LEEd platinum king abdullah university of science and technology in saudi arabia. our experience includes planning and designing entirely new campuses and buildings and expansions and renovations to existing buildings. Hoks track record includes academic environments on more than 200 campuses around the world. drawing from our international roster of campus planners, architects, interiors designers, programmers and landscape architects, we can complement the canadian team with specialists for educational projects of any scale and any type.

universities and colleges have been among the first institutions to embrace sustainability and commitment to the environment as core values, driven by demand from students and faculty.

canadas largest college and university campuses are becoming in fact selfcontained cities with all the required amenities and facilities for living, working, studying, and enjoying life. yes, they have teaching facilities but they also have cafes and restaurants, athletic facilities, child care centres, offices, research centres, healthcare centres, transit hubs, and retail services of all kinds, including dry cleaners, grocery stores, post offices, and travel agents. add to this, the normal list of teaching facilities labs, large lecture theatres, breakout spaces, spaces for spontaneous interaction, outdoor gathering spaces and it is evident that, for most institutions, working with an architecture firm with experience beyond the educational sector is a great advantage. Hok works in almost every industry sector. We tailor our teams to individual projects and are able to pull together quickly the multi-disciplinary experts who can work together and satisfy a multitude of campus needs. hoK advance Strategies works with clients to align their core strategies with their real estate portfolios, facilities, workplaces and information systems to effectively master change. We help clients make value-based decisions that achieve clear, quantifiable results over a buildings entire lifecycle. a multidisciplinary group, we are leaders, analysts, strategists, listeners, planners, communicators, and change agents who use our knowledge and experience to help organizations navigate through complex business challenges. hoKs Science + technology group is setting international trends in the programming, planning and design of the worlds most complex science and research facilities. our in-house lab programmers, planners, architects, and project managers offer analysis, planning and design services exclusively for science and technology projects. We have designed more than 45 million

square feet of research, development and production facilities for academic, corporate, and government clients and regularly receive recognition for innovation and design excellence.

hoKs healthcare teams of healthcare architects, medical planners, interior designers, and landscape architects are working at the forefront of innovative healthcare facilities around the world. Hok has facilitated translational research environments, bringing healthcare researchers, healthcare providers and patients together in an interactive and collaborative environment of healing. this translates into leading integration of teaching and practice environments in the health sciences.

hoKs workplace Solutions teams draw on current benchmarking trends to help companies reduce occupancy costs, leverage technology, attract and keep the best people, and enhance brand image. But we also keep an eye on the future, designing flexible environments to accommodate changing technologies and work processes. Leveraging this knowledge helps optimize the effectiveness of faculty, research and administration environments.

hoKs hospitality teams of interior designers, architects, planners, and brand specialists are known for creatively designed room plans that enhance revenue and maximize guest appeal as well as lobbies and public spaces that help attract repeat visits. as well, our vast experience helps us determine the appropriate balance of entertainment, retail, food and beverage services, and accommodation. Many institutions are exploring opportunities to integrate hospitality environments to both support core teaching and research activities as well as leverage conference facilities.

the hoK / Biomimicry group

Hok works in alliance with the Biomimicry Group, the worlds premier bioinspired innovation company, to use natures principles to help solve design and engineering challenges sustainably. this exclusive relationship equips us to integrate natures innovations into the planning and design of buildings, communities and cities worldwide and promises to reduce the negative environmental impact of our projects. Engaging the Biomimcry Group in our design process provides a forum of critical intersection, promoting genuine understanding and respect among the entire project team. this unique partnership provides a fundamentally different way of looking at things. We are not designing objects, we are designing a symbiotic way of living through observing and assimilating a delicate and dynamic choreography between societies of flora and fauna, and even humans. this is not a new approach rather it is one that has been embraced by older, so-called less sophisticated societies for centuries. typically the Hok and Biomimicry team explore together the principle that life creates conditions conducive to life. the result is bio-mimetically inspired design, locally attuned and resiliently responsive to naturally integrated cyclic processes. designs that follow the natural worlds lead utilize benign manufacturing, leverage interdependencies, and optimize rather than maximize energy use to produce awe-inspiring built form.
