Tall buildings and trees give an optimistic view of looking upwards, while birds soar you through the space as a form of wayfinding. Painted with Benjamin Moore paint. Located on the 7th floor of the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex.
Goals
The main goal was to create a cohesive and immersive environment through biophilic design that reflects the institution's values and aspirations. By strategically placing murals throughout the Teaching and Learning department's office space, a visually stimulating and culturally rich environment enhances the overall experience for employees, students, and visitors. Additionally, the murals play a vital role in shaping its culture, promoting creativity and innovation, and fostering a sense of community and belonging.
