learning environment that is inclusive, innovative and deeply connected to the community,\u201d says <strong>Dan Palermo<\/strong>, Markham Campus deputy provost. \u201cThe Markham Campus was designed to reflect York\u2019s values and vision, and we\u2019re proud to see that celebrated by Ontario\u2019s interior design community.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The award recognizes: design firm Diamond Schmitt Architects; interior designer Iva Radikova, ARIDO; design team Greg Parsons and Robin Zhao, ARIDO; and photographer Tom Arban.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built by Stuart Olson Inc., the 40,000 square foot building prioritizes collaboration, innovation, accessibility and inclusivity \u2013 core values that reflect both contemporary design principles and York\u2019s institutional commitment to equity and excellence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Markham Campus facility, which officially opened its doors September 2024, reimagines the academic experience through a vertical design that places student services at street level and floods the building with natural light. Its architecture creates open, engaging spaces that reflect the diversity of programs and research within.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten floors of adaptable learning environments are centred around a multi-level atrium, a vibrant hub that connects people and ideas. A ribbon-like staircase winds through the space, guiding movement and enhancing the sensory experience for all who enter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each floor is shaped into a distinct academic \u201cvertical neighbourhood,\u201d with variations in materials, textures and colours that give every area a unique identity while maintaining a cohesive campus feel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Markham Campus was designed to do more than support learning \u2013 it was built to inspire connection among students, faculty and visitors, and to enhance the social fabric of the University,\u201d says Palermo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ARIDO Awards are among the most prestigious accolades in the interior design community, recognizing projects that integrate equity, diversity, accessibility and inclusion from concept to completion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This award follows Markham\u2019s recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yorku.ca\/yfile\/2025\/06\/13\/markham-campus-earns-leed-gold-for-sustainable-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">designation as a LEED Gold certified facility<\/a>, placing the campus among Canada\u2019s leading eco-forward institutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From street-level services to sensory-rich spaces, the award-winning design of York University's Markham Campus fosters inclusive, impactful academic environments.
