Project info

Cariboo Memorial Hospital (CMH) Redevelopment Project is part of ongoing efforts to enhance healthcare facilities for the Williams Lake and Cariboo-Chilcotin region, ultimately delivering a state-of-the-art hospital to serve rural and remote communities.

At 100,100 square feet, the facility will include a three-story addition and renovations to the existing facility, resulting in the hospital gaining 25 additional beds, bringing the total to 53. The project will also include 36 new medical/surgical units, an inpatient unit for mental health and substance use, and expanded ambulatory care, oncology, and maternity units. Other key additions include a new pharmacy and a sacred interfaith space for traditional healing practices. A new academic space for the UBC Faculty of Medicine will be incorporated, and the hospital’s parking capacity will be increased with 71 new parking stalls.

We are providing building automation solutions for this project, including system controls design and development, full integration, and commissioning. Our scope of work includes the installation of 50,000 feet of conduit, 110,000 feet of cabling, and 400 control boxes, ensuring streamlined and efficient operation across all systems. Additionally, we are integrating the hospital’s existing systems with new controls for HVAC and VAV systems to improve overall performance.

Project info

The new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre (HJCRC) is under construction in North Vancouver, BC. Embracing the City’s vision of A Healthy City for All, the new centre will ensure that the North Shore population has access to recreation facilities and activities that focus on physical and mental wellness, inclusion, accessibility, and diversity.

As the City’s largest-ever capital program, replacement of the current 56-year-old HJCRC includes an arena with seating for 500 spectators, expanded aquatic space, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, multipurpose rooms, preschool and youth spaces, a skate park, and a new facility for the Silver Harbour Senior’s Activity Centre.

Sustainability and accessibility are at the core of this design. The new facility aims to produce 40% less CO2 emissions than the existing centre and will be seamlessly connected to the Lonsdale Energy Corporation’s district energy system. Moreover, the new HJCRC is actively pursuing gold certification from the Rick Hansen Foundation. Key accessibility features include sensory-friendly washrooms, multiple accessible entrances to the pool, an inclusive community kitchen and more.

We are leading the electrical, structured cabling, and security scopes of the project. This includes lighting and lighting controls, fire alarm, video surveillance, access control, public address, and rough-in for communications systems and EV chargers.

In collaboration with the other trades on-site, we are contributing to a BIM model that integrates all building elements. This allows us to identify clashes and solve conflicts prior to construction in the field. Once completed, the model will serve as a valuable resource for future maintenance and renovation work.

Project info

The University of Victoria (UVic) is expanding in size and capacity with the addition of the National Centre for Indigenous Laws (NCIL). The NCIL will house the Indigenous Law Degree program and provide a space for the learning and practice of Indigenous Laws. Launched in 2018, the Indigenous Law Degree program is the first of its kind in the world. As demand for the program continues to grow, UVic has decided to amplify its current Fraser Building to house the new NCIL.

The NCIL is being built with sustainable design in mind. In consultation with local Indigenous communities, cultural and ceremonial processes will be observed.

To help bring this project to life, we have been involved in multiple phases of construction. These include the NCIL Duct Bank and Foundations, Fraser Building Renewals, Fraser Building Heat Plant and Unit Sub, and finally construction of the new NCIL Building.
