College Avenue Campus Renewal

This multi-phase revitalization of the Collegiate Gothic buildings both preserved the architectural details and modernized the campus. Renovations included new academic and administrative spaces, elevators for accessibility, and heating and cooling system upgrades. The campus now houses various academic and performing arts spaces.

The revitalization also involved the restoration, renovation and upgrade to current life safety and accessibility standards of the historic Darke Hall theatre constructed in 1929 as Regina’s first dedicated concert hall. Work on the 479-seat performance center restored the original design including the stone and brick facades, mouldings, doors, plaster, stained glass windows and light fixtures. It also involved significant upgrades for full accessibility including elevators and seating, as well as additional washrooms, acoustics, and sight lines throughout the auditorium.
