Project: Ontario Hydro
Location: Pickering, ON
Building Size: 14,500 sq. ft.
Start Date: October 1995
Completion Date: December 1995
With the immediate need for a two-storey standalone building with an occupancy date within nine weeks, modular construction was the solution. The office/storage facility includes complete electrical, HVAC and plumbing that were mostly pre-installed at the NRB plant. The exterior finish is comprised of 24-gauge steel cladding, with the interior a vinyl-covered gypsum board, with carpet and tile floor finish.
A unique feature of this modular office building is its hydraulic elevator. The elevator shaft was structurally designed and prefabricated in the upper and lower modules before being site installed. As well, a sprinkled vault area protects critical files and documents and features a pre-poured concrete floor and ceiling assembly with two-hire fire rating throughout.
1996 MBI Award: Honorable Mention - Multi-Storey Complex, over 10,000 sq. ft. .
