OVERVIEW
For a B.C.-based mining company and consulting to Ausenco Engineering, CAGP
was commissioned to design new administrative offices and public information
facilities for an existing 3 storey, 18,000 sf. concrete frame office building which
had fallen into disuse as a result of the mine shut-down in early 2000. New
facilities include a 50 seat public presentation theatre, reception areas,
administrative office and meeting rooms along with employee lounges. Interior
partitions, doors and frames, custom millwork and finishes are to be new,
throughout with an emphasis on natural, sustainable finishes. Existing
mechanical-electrical systems are to be entirely replaced with new, more energy
efficient systems. The existing exterior curtain-wall will be re-furbished along
with parking and adjacent hard and soft landscaping.
