EllisDon was awarded a significant construction management contract with the Royal Military College in Kingston. The project includes a complete upgrade to the building envelope and HVAC and electrical systems, including mechanical penthouse additions for six buildings. The existing exterior precast concrete panel and aluminum windows are being removed and replaced with a curtainwall system with structural steel seismic bracing added at each building face. Additionally there are upgrades to elevators, washrooms, IT systems, and communication rooms. Prior to the renovation work, 65,000 square feet of temporary swing space will be built to accommodate relocated laboratory and classroom facilities.
