Are We There Yet? New Building Design Hits New Milestone
November 14, 2014
The design process for NorQuest College’s new Centre for Learning reached a new milestone this week. The design is now 70 per cent complete, up from 40 per cent in August. The process is on target for completion by the end of February 2015, at which point bidding on the project will begin.
The building design process is now nearing the finishing stage, explains project manager Steve Yacucha.
“The 70 per cent mark means that we’re well along in the process in terms of location of walls, doors, load-supporting beams, plumbing, power systems, HVAC et cetera,” says Yacucha. “The final stage will focus more on the finer details, like finishes and furnishings.”
Meanwhile, site preparation on the City of Edmonton laneway is coming to completion. As part of the process, EPCOR will be removing its underground duct bank from the laneway starting November 17. This process is expected to be complete by November 30.
Following completion of the laneway, construction will begin on a new loading dock. The loading dock will be complete in the spring of 2015 and will facilitate the delivery of materials for the Edmonton Downtown Campus.
The Centre for Learning is planned as a LEED Silver 22,500 m², four-story building facing Capital Boulevard, flanked by 103 Avenue and 107 Street. It will feature labs, a daycare, a new library, food services, an Aboriginal ceremonial room, and student activity space.
