This
project began with demolition of a previous one storey concrete block building
at 65 Lodge Street in Waterloo, and the construction of a new two storey,
14,000 square foot science research facility. The project includes special
design features to replicate arctic climate and includes tank reservoirs, testing
facilities, etc. Mid-way through the installation of the building structure, a
decision was made to add a third storey greenhouse to the building. This added
the challenges of re-engineering, reinforcing, and design changes to
accommodate access and services. |
