2008 Lieutenant Governor’s
Award of Excellence in Architecture
Recognition, promotion and
understanding of Architectural Excellence is the objective of the 2008
Lieutenant Governor’s Award of Excellence in Architecture.
Feeling, function and form are parts of architecture. Good architecture
creates a built-environment that is engaging, efficient and exciting.
Rather than strive for mediocrity, good architecture harnesses
creativity in a new way.
These winning projects are excellent because they reflect the value of
architects in creating places of education, business and life in New
Brunswick’s built-environment. They are about real-world challenges and
solutions and we hope you enjoy them.

Margaret Norrie
McCain Hall
St
Thomas University’s new building includes a study hall, new
classrooms and offices. It establishes an upper courtyard
mirroring the picturesque landscaped central courtyard that
has become the university’ s trademark.
While the new structure did not require as much floor space
as Mulroney Hall (its facing neighbour) it was critical to
establish a similar height and volume so that the new
courtyard would be balanced. This pushed the design solution
whereby the proposed façade was equally as large as Mulroney
Hall’s but was hollowed out; creating an internal entry
courtyard that is open to the sky.
The four-storey, 4400 square metre building boasts a
two-story study hall for 125 students complete with an upper
mezzanine, a 400-seat lecture theatre, an acoustically
designed 80-seat piano recital hall, two 60-seat classrooms,
three 35-seat classrooms, five seminar rooms, twenty staff
offices, a boardroom and the President’s suite offering a
spectacular view of both campuses and the St. John River
Valley.
