This forward-looking building is located in the beautiful Mississauga campus of the University of Toronto. Worked in three colleges: Ximi Xisha Ga Medical College, College of Biological Sciences and College of Human Forensic Medicine. It includes a series of functions such as lecture hall, conference room, classroom, administrative and teacher office, teaching and research laboratory. All three colleges have their own independent fields, and they are well connected. These areas are organized into a series of stacked boxes, big or small, which meet the function and strive for the best view and the most sunshine.

The exposed parts of these stacked boxes are used as platforms, overlooking the lush and beautiful campus scenery around the building, which seems to be floating in the garden. The north side has the main entrance of the building. The building skin is a stainless steel array with four angles (15, 30, 60, 90), which appear in different combinations and densities at different levels. With the glass curtain wall, the solar energy can be used to the maximum extent and the climate disadvantage can be avoided. Stainless steel plate reflects excess sunlight in summer and warm indoor air in winter, forming an effect similar to thermal blanket.

Sustainable measures: accessibility of public transport. Contact the campus infrastructure. Effectively manage rainwater runoff and use reclaimed water in the bathroom. More than 15% of the materials are sustainable, and 75% of the materials are recycled in the building. Double-sided thermal insulation, waterproof and thermal insulation. The outer stainless steel plate can reflect heat energy and block the line of sight. The office space has achieved natural lighting and ventilation. The lecture hall, classrooms, laboratories, conference rooms and public walkways realize direct or indirect natural lighting. All spaces have lighting sensors, the warm air can be controlled independently, and the exhaust equipment can effectively use excess heat.
