Lapointe Magne's architects explored 3 possible scenarios before settling on a particular option.
The chosen scenario is illustrated by the definition of the west courtyard, the maintenance of the west courtyard's green space and sunlight, the creation of a new courtyard (north), and the linking of the southern and northern parts of the campus. In terms of architectural expression, the clear identification of the pavilion through a simple form and the maintenance of the Bryan Pavilion identity are resolved. In terms of operation, modular planning ensures a clear, hierarchical organization, with a clear distinction between teaching and research.
The project seeks to integrate the major visual and circulation axes of the campus and to link the southern and northern parts, thus reconciling the various strategies of the past. The simple, elongated massing of the Science Pavilion follows the typology of the original Loyola campus buildings. The north/south orientation of the 5 1/2-storey body of the pavilion significantly reduces its impact on the campus, while maintaining a recognizable presence on the west courtyard. Its methodical plan finds expression in a brick main body with regular fenestration. It embraces the sober, calm character of the campus.
