Architectural Services for the Indigenous Hub

The University of Toronto is seeking to shortlist up to six qualified architectural practices or joint-venture teams to provide professional services for the design of the Indigenous Hub on its St. George Campus, emphasizing a high-calibre design that honors the building’s cultural and institutional significance. This initiative is the first stage of a two-step procurement process, beginning with a Request for Supplier Qualifications aimed at identifying firms with the expertise and sensitivity to lead such a meaningful project. The design must be led by an Indigenous Architect, while the Architect-of-Record, if applicable, is not required to identify as Indigenous, and applicants must comply with the Indigenous Substantiation Process outlined in the solicitation. Bids must be submitted through Merx.com by the deadline of July 14, 2026, and fees may apply for access to bidding documents. The solicitation, numbered P106-25-165, was posted on July 9, 2026, and falls under the NAICS code 541310 for architectural services. Point of contact for inquiries is Rajko Jakovic, the Contracting Authority, reachable via email or phone.
