Design Challenge:
This competition challenges students to consider what a new school of architecture located in the downtown of a Northern Ontario city might be, and to explore and develop ideas that may emerge from such a process.
There is no definition of what a site for the project should, or could be. The only stipulation is that the school must be located within the downtown of the City of Greater Sudbury.

Submission Requirements:
-Two to four A1 panels (594 x 841mm or 23.4” °— 33.1”) on light-weight rigid backing (no more than 6mm or 1/4” thick).
-A text of a maximum of 500 words that summarizes and explains the project must appear on the front of Panel ‘A’. All other content is up to the team’s discretion.
-proof of enrollment or graduation (hard copy only)
-project summary (to fit no more than two 8.5”x11” sheets)
-11”x17” reductions of each panel
– one CD with all of the documentation listed above
