Education Portfolio
BDP Quadrangle is one of Canada’s leading full-service architecture, design and urbanism practices. Based in Toronto, Canada, our expertise spans designing for the full spectrum of the built environment including mixed-use, residential, workplace, retail, transit, media, education and health. We are also the North American headquarters of BDP, which was founded in 1961 in the UK as an interdisciplinary design resource. Today, BDP comprises 1,300 people, operating from local studios across three continents. Transcending its growth, the studio’s philosophy has remained the same: to work as a multidisciplinary collective, applying knowledge and expertise to create ambitious projects at every scale. Quadrangle, a 35-year old practice well-known in North America for its design, business sense and integrity, joined BDP in 2019 and became BDP Quadrangle in 2020. Our 200-person studio strives to create places that foster wellbeing, inclusivity and sustainable futures. Together, we can offer our clients a broadened perspective, greater expertise, expanded services and resources, while continuing to do things the way we always have. Above all else, we design for the good of clients and communities.

Education We design education environments using an approach that places the user at the heart of our process. In doing so, we create the very best learning and research environments that inspire learning, teaching, experimentation, creativity, research and a sense of place through distinctive architecture and design. Education is increasingly recognised as a primary catalyst for social and economic development and this is reflected in our growing portfolio of projects.
