A renovation and expansion with tight restrictions.

The project scope consisted the complete demolition of the existing three-storey law library (interiors and envelope) as well as the partial structural demolition, construction, and tie-in of a new four-storey wing, all in the backyard of an existing heritage structure built in 1902 (Flavelle House). The project was designed and constructed to LEED Silver standards.

“We want to emphasize how Eastern collaborates and partners with the whole project team. This approach is rare in the industry (despite many claims otherwise) - but essential for complex project delivery. Their proactive and participatory method ensures the success of the project. Their firm stance on budget and schedule means that all project stakeholders honour these important project mandates; but, to supplement this rigour they offer their invaluable logistical expertise, hands-on problem solving skills and accurate cost estimating as tools for achieving even the most challenging designs and schedules.”
