The [R]ed[U]x Lab Hope for Hearts team was not only quick to get the project fabricated as anticipated but also able to get it up and operational at the Granite Club. The team made up of many first year Architectural Science students and guided by a couple of second years had a great experience learning not only about fabrication but also project management and delivery.
The team has been finalizing the assembly of the backdrop wall including integration of the sponsors and coordination of the lighting array. What is most impressive about this project is just how quickly this was developed and assembled especially when you consider the majority of the team consisted of first year architectural science students coming in with no familiarity with laser cutters.
Another project currently underway is a backdrop for the Hope for Hearts Gala for SickKids which will be at the Granite Club this June. This resourceful and enthusiastic team developed an illuminated reception wall and currently is under development with a group of first and second year students in [R]ed[U]x Lab.
The best part about watching [R]ed[U]x Lab projects come together, regardless of the scale or scope, is witnessing the power of students in the Department of Architectural Science come together and help bring these works to completion. When deadlines are looming and project credit is not even discussed, students from all years come and help support their brothers and sisters in the program in these initiatives.
Here we see [R]ed[U]x Lab members from past projects step up to help their colleagues on the finishing touches of Terrena.
