University of Toronto Scarborough, The Sam Ibrahim Building
The Sam Ibrahim Building at the University of Toronto Scarborough is a major student hub on the north side of campus. On top of that, Instructional Centre 2 offers nearly 18,500 square metres of academic space, with 21 technology-enhanced classrooms and lecture halls, labs, and plenty of study spots, lounges, and open seating areas for students to hang out or get work done. Plus, the five-storey building designed by ZAS Architects in collaboration with CEBRA Architecture features modern glass façades that make the space feel open and inspiring. And to round things out, it also includes eco-friendly touches, such as a green roof and energy-efficient systems that perform 40 per cent better than industry standards.

- Entire structure from second floor up is cantilevered on all sides by three metres
Walters’ scope of work on this project was to model, fabricate and install structural steel and metal deck.
There were 12 critical lifts and five engineered lifts with the tower crane. Seven members both Welded Wide-Flange (WWF) and Feature Stair stringers were installed using mobile cranes. The suspended slab on the ground floor and atriums climbing to the roof created a challenge for accessing the slab edge at the atrium.
