Mohawk College: The Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation
Mohawk College’s – The Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation is the cornerstone of a record-setting $54.25 million renewal of technology labs and classrooms. At 96,000 square feet, the centre is also a showcase of environmental sustainability as the region’s first Net Zero energy institutional building. It has been designed to incorporate leading-edge energy harvesting and conservation technologies and techniques.
The Government of Canada’s $20 million investment in the centre is the single largest federal infrastructure funding in Mohawk’s 50-year history. With construction and renovations complete, enrollment in technology programs will grow from 1,000 to 4,500 students over the next five years.
- 1117 Tons
- This project consisted of 17 tons of bolts, 9 tons of weld, and 122kms of 6mm fillet welds
- This building is Canada’s largest, and Hamilton’s first, Net Zero building
Walters’ role was to provide Design Assist to reduce costs and to provide fast-track construction, fabrication, erection and delivery of 931 tons of steel for the main building and 186 tons of solar panel support steel, for a total of 1117T.
One of the challenges with this project was the speed of delivery of this unique building. The tight timeframe of erection was critical to the owner, and thus important to us as well.
