About Project

This project was designed with a combination of steel and wood making some of the connections far from standard. Co-coordinating with the Glulam supplier and Contractor helped to ensure that all of the steel went up as required. We were also able to offer feedback on the design of the indoor running track handrail and worked with the Contractor to provide a design that was both aesthetic and functional while meeting all regulations.

“The Confederation College Wellness Centre Project incorporated a unique mixed-medium approach to the structural frame, interfacing large wood timbers with structural steel throughout.  As our Structural Fabricator and Erector on this time-sensitive design-build development, Lakehead Ironwork stood out in their ability and willingness to suggest creative solutions to the often complex field-level connection issues, leveraging their decades of experience in metalwork for the benefit of our project. Their local shop facilities, in combination with their collaborative and fair approach to the inevitable changes that arise in any construction project contributed to the achievement of both our budget and schedule goals on this high-profile job.”
