The design approach derives its inspiration from the context of the site: history, the concept of campus, the quality of existing buildings, the spatial interpretation of the program, and the nature and synergy of a Natural Sciences Complex. The Origin, The Heart and The Focus: The original Jesuit Building, The Central Pavilion, facing Sherbrooke Street and generating the "Central Campus Axis" of the University, represents the Origin and Icon of Loyola Campus. The Axis, The Quadrangle and the Park: The Central Campus Axis bisects the Campus into 2 partially defined distinct Quadrangles. Functionally and symbolically, the Quadrangle represents the essence of campus design. The negative space provides a peaceful, cloistered environment for learning and growth where movement, life, and interaction take place, the symbolic heart of the campus. The Quadrangle is conceived in the British tradition of a park-like selling in juxtaposition to the buildings forming the Quadrangle. The Quadrangle and its Linkages: the Quadrangle is reinforced by a continuous network of circulation providing linkages to the adjacent Drummond building at the South of the Quadrangle, and the future Student Services Building on the east. The Quadrangle has four types of circulation, acting as a reinforcer of the interior and exterior circulation systems. The "Sciences Quadrangle" circulation system is reinforced by both an interior and exterior system of circulation.
