Key Dates

Welcome to the Richard Ivey BuildingRespecting the School’s rich 90-year history while projecting a

vibrant future, the new Richard ivey Building is home to over 2,000

students, faculty and staff. The new building will reunite hBa, MBa,

MSc and Phd programs in one attractive and inspiring jewel-like

structure that finds its architectural inspiration in a geological

structure called a geode. Like a geode, the new building fits in

perfectly with its surroundings through its trademark stone exterior,

but as you’ll see, the inside exudes an exceptional creativity and

quiet confidence that is a trademark of the ivey Business School.

< brock pavilion

Sometimes you just have to find a place to relax and refocus. That place is the Brock Pavilion – a bright, inviting space to gather with classmates over great food featuring local ingredients, pizza straight from the oven, and executive-class coffee and beverages all prepared fresh daily by our own chef. it’s a social space that can hold approximately 260 people at any one time and features a full Starbucks just off the Pavilion.

^ Student lounges and breakout rooms

intense, challenging and interesting, student life at ivey is definitely enhanced by the building’s unique design, readily apparent in the many student lounges and breakout rooms. The open yet comfortable layouts encourage relaxing, connecting and collaborating with classmates and faculty. Breakout rooms line the entire Quadrangle. Smaller study rooms are available for recruiting interviews or team discussions. each room’s particular palette – from warm reds to cool purples – reflects the spectrum of colours associated with sunrise and sunset as seen from each space.

< grand hall

Like any home, ivey has a heart – the grand hall. it’s a place to gather before class, plan presentations or just kick back with a coffee. From community-wide meetings and major announcements to homecoming, the grand hall is central to the ivey community. enjoy the magnificent fireplace featuring an algonquin limestone wall between the grand staircase and the side of the fireplace, the same material used on the building’s exterior.

The glass doors of the grand hall open onto the Love Family Quadrangle, offering the beautiful perspective of our sunrise and sunset breakout room palette circling the Quadrangle.

The curving balustrades on the second and third floors offer exceptional views of events taking place on the ground floor and also provide impromptu meeting space for students and faculty and staff. in total the grand hall can accommodate approximately 1,500 people.

^ bmO Financial group Auditorium

This multi-level 670 square-metre (7,200 square-foot), state-of-the-art facility has already hosted an a-list of top business leaders and faculty speakers for students, alumni and guests, such as former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney. The auditorium seats up to 640 people and features the latest in videoconferencing technology, perfect for milestone special occasions such as homecoming and the ivey Ring Tradition Ceremony.

The massive 300-inch stadium-style screen features special light absorbing material for a sharp, clear picture even with the house lights on. Bringing our in-house guest speakers, watching Blu-Ray video, webcasting or videoconferences complete with Skype capability to the screen is the work of the powerful Christie projector, similar to what you would find at the movie theatre. and for an integrated Q&a session, four cameras automatically move to capture questions from nine microphone locations and put the visuals on-screen. Full stereo sound is delivered through speakers and a sub-woofer located beside the screen.

For more intimate events, the curtain closes to contain about 200 seats and the screen automatically resizes to suit the smaller venue.

harry rosen lounge & terrace

adjacent to the grand hall is the harry Rosen Lounge & Terrace, a great way to start the day, catch your breath between classes or scan the headlines. The lounge area features soft seating, coffee tables and connects to the outdoor terrace area facing Western Road. The oak floor mimics the floor of the J J Wettlaufer dean’s Suite and contains one of the building’s six fireplaces.

< the ivey case classroom

engaging and dynamic, the ivey classroom is where the magic happens. all classrooms have tiered seating with dimensions carefully designed to ensure each student enjoys optimal views of faculty and classmates. Floor-to-ceiling windows, acoustic paneling and state-of-the-art technology enhance the classroom experience, giving students the same world-renowned case-based learning experience since the first class graduated in 1923. Walnut finishes and soft angles match the design seen throughout the building.

each classroom features exceptional presentation and recording capabilities that can be managed in-class or from a control in the building’s basement. From the control room, up to six classrooms can be managed, monitored and recorded at once.

< love Family Quadrangle

Think on your feet, or just enjoy some fresh air. The Love Family Quadrangle offers ample opportunity for both in a park-like setting. Reminiscent of the world’s great academic outdoor designs, the Quadrangle shares the light with all areas of the building through tall transparent doors, pathways, benches, a stunning water feature and a copse of mature Carolinian trees. The area is ringed by breakout rooms that capture light at any time of the day, in any season.

The Quad is a key component in our gold Leed certification. The inward sloping roof collects rainwater, which feeds the reflecting pool located adjacent to the grand hall. Water evaporating from the pool cools the temperature of the outdoor air before it is supplied to the air-handling systems, reducing energy use in the building.

< ivey Family commemorative plaque

Located on the landing between the ground and second floors, the distinctive plaque recognizes the extraordinary vision and selfless generosity of the ivey family for 65 years and counting. The Richard ivey name has been associated with the Business School at Western officially since 1957 when its first faculty building was opened on Western’s campus. That tradition is carried on in the gold Leed certified building that continues to bear the family name.

20,950 cubic feet of stone

The building uses 330 cubic metres (11650 cubic feet) of Algonquin limestone, 37 cubic metres (1,300 cubic feet) of flagstone, and 227 cubic metres (8,000 cubic feet) of rubble stone all cut from a quarry in Wiarton, Ontario. The raw rock was shipped in blocks to the fabrication shop outside of Owen Sound, and then delivered piece by piece to the Ivey site.

^ Student Services

The second and third floors feature the algonquin limestone quarried in nearby Owen Sound – a critical component in our gold Leed certification. Student services, including degree program offices and Career Management are located on the second floor, together with additional 50-seat classrooms.

< leenders lounge

The Leenders Lounge represents the life-long connection between arkadi Kuhlmann, hBa ’71, MBa ’72, advisory Board Chair 2003-2013 and Professor emeritus Mike Leenders, MBa ’59. The lounge was generously funded by Kuhlmann, who requested the space be named in honour of his favourite professor. This type of transformational and lasting relationship is replicated time and again between ivey alumni and faculty.

The naturally lit area contains a full-service kitchen and a large outdoor patio, perfectly suited for faculty and staff gatherings.

Our gold Leed® CertificationLeadership in energy and environmental design (Leed) is the leading green building certification system in north america, providing a framework for practical and measurable green building design and construction. While Western seeks Leed Silver as a minimum standard for new buildings and major renovation, ivey has gone beyond the minimum to achieve Leed gold status, which is consistent with our desire to attract students, faculty, staff, and other partners to a leading-edge organization.

leed highlights:

• a cistern and piping system allows rain water to flush the toilets while specially designed faucets, urinals, toilets and showerheads reduce indoor water usage by more than 20 percent

• drought-resistant vegetation and landscape design eliminates the need for irrigation system and results in 60 percent water savings

• Low-e argon windows in thermally-improved frames, occupancy sensors for lighting, and heat recovery on ventilation air help improve energy performance by 50 percent

• a waste management plan diverted 81 percent of construction waste from landfill

• Over 30 percent of building materials or products are manufactured, extracted or harvested within 800 km (500 miles) of the site

• Windows and skylights provide light to more than 75 percent of occupied spaces on all floors, This includes light wells that allow natural light into occupied spaces of the basement

• All wood ceiling joists are made of wood grown in Forest Stewardship Council forests that are harvested for use in building construction, minimizing the impact on natural forest habitats

• More than 15 percent of the value of materials was spent on recycled materials

^ Stephenson reflecting pool

The elegant pool flanking the main entrance and the Brock Pavilion was named to honour Carol Stephenson’s impact on ivey and the Canadian business school landscape during her tenure as dean from 2003-2013. under the dean’s five-pillared strategic plan, ivey has enjoyed an extraordinary period of growth, reaffirming its position as Canada’s premier business school.

The 178,000 litres (39,000 gals) water feature was designed by the building’s architect, hariri Pontarini, in consultation with international water feature design consultants dan euser Waterarchitecture inc. The design connects the new building to the rest of Western’s campus, providing a moment of reflection between the old and new. it draws pedestrians coming from the adjacent intersection towards the main entrance while embracing the arc of the existing trees that line Brescia Lane.

The Reflecting Pool was made possible through the generous support of alumni, staff, faculty and friends who wished to recognize Carol’s 10 years of leadership at ivey.
