Project info
The new Cameron Community Centre and Library is under construction in Burnaby, BC. The redevelopment of the Cameron Community Centre will provide a diverse range of amenities to meet the needs of the expanding community. Designed to serve people of all ages, interests, and abilities, the 238,140 sq. ft. facility will include a library, an aquatic facility, dual gymnasiums, spaces for youth and seniors, a community kitchen, and a 150-person banquet hall.
The new community centre will also feature a 10,000 sq. ft weight room, an indoor track, fitness studios, a childcare centre with playgrounds, revitalized outdoor spaces, and a civic plaza. Additionally, it will include a makerspace, a sensory room for neurodivergent individuals, and a storytelling room for Indigenous programs.
Our Scope
We will be delivering the electrical and technology solutions for this project. Our electrical scope includes electrical systems, power distribution, lighting, e-commerce, and fire alarm systems. Our technology solutions include building controls, structured cabling, access control, data, and video surveillance.
Across the site, our teams are coordinating large‑scale installations, including approximately 9,000 ft of linear lighting fixtures and more than 145 types of lighting fixtures. In total, we’ll be installing over 400,000 ft of conduit and more than 100,000 ft of feeder cables to support all electrical and technology systems. Plus, we’re supporting the installation of 348 photovoltaic solar panels for clean energy, along with the facility’s 1,250 kW generator and 45,000‑litre fuel tank, which reinforces its emergency‑shelter capabilities.
