This building is an important historical asset to the City of Red Deer. The main part was built in 1940 and featured a small addition built in 1949 and a large addition built in 1965. The structure was originally used as a school and then renovated to house the 2019 Canada Winter Games and an office space for the City of Red Deer.
Our work included asbestos abatement; bathroom modernizations; window replacements; new finishes; millwork and flooring; new electrical and mechanical systems; and a complete re-roof for the 1965 addition.
Unforeseen obstacles were a daily occurrence on this project due to the age of the building and the lack of historical information. We remained transparent with the client throughout the preconstruction phase as well as during the work, and held regular updates and meetings.
This project is aligned with the work we did on the Gary W Harris Celebration Plaza for the 2019 Canada Winter Games.
