ONTARIO CONCRETE AWARDS St. Marys CBM contributes to two award-winning projects Canadian Design and Construction Report special feature St. Marys CBM contributed to two award-winning On- tario Concrete Awards projects: The University of Wind- sor’s Centre for Engineering Innovation and the Victoria Park bus terminal replacement project. Institutional Building: University of Windsor Centre for Engineering Innovation The Centre for Engineering Innovation is a 328,000 sq. ft., three-storey building featuring engineering labs and workstations, theatre style classrooms and one of the largest strong wall slabs in North America. “The building itself is designed to educate the students with many varying techniques and materials used to con- struct the superstructure,” says St. Marys CBM marketing manager Nat Morlando. “Concrete plays a very high profile role in the construction with many walls and floors fully ex- posed along with some of the vertical and horizontal pre- cast members.” Flooring systems include full cast-in-place suspended slabs and composite deck and hollowcore slabs with con- crete toppings. Atrium-spanning bridges are each con- structed using a different design from slab supported by open joists to the integral concrete beam. The building, designed to achieve LEED Gold certifica- tion, incorporates approximately 15,200 cu. m. of concrete. Architectural Merit: Victoria Park Bus terminal replacement project This Toronto modernization project uses concrete for the entire bus canopy, including a green roof, soffit, columns and retaining wall. It also features a concrete art wall. The terminal's two key architectural features include the entrance's concrete canopies and a cast-in-place retaining wall. St. Marys has been a major cement producer since 1912. The company's six plants can produce more than five million metric tons. St. Marys has provided concrete for the CN Tower, Maple Leaf Gardens and the Darlington Nuclear Station. 56 – Winter 2014 — The Canadian Design and Construction Report
