McGill University Students Build Twisted ContemPLAY Pavilion Out of Locally-Sourced Materials




Students at Montreal's McGill University don't believe a beautiful campus is just something that happens by accident. Rather than depending on school officials and trustees to create a campus pavilion that would encourage socialization and relaxation, the students decided to take it upon themselves to design a place they'd actually like to use. Several design concepts were submitted for consideration around 18 months ago. Since then, the winning design was selected and built. The result is the ContemPLAY pavilion, a dynamic piece of outdoor furniture that conjures up multi-generational perceptions of contemplation and play.
