Custom cladding defines new building at McMaster University - McMaster University, Hamilton, ON
|
| |
McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario needed more space. More classrooms, more room for student services, more residence beds, more parking, even a spot for a daycare.
So university officials decided to embark on a unique construction project that combined all of these functions in one structure. The result is the Peter George Centre for Living and Learning.
This 14-storey, 335,000 square foot building includes underground parking, three auditoriums with capacity for 410 to 640 students, the Student Wellness Centre, 350 residence rooms offering 518 beds over seven floors, and the McMaster Childcare Centre.

Metal tiles replicate natural roofing materials - Featuring True Nature Steel Tiles By Vicwest
|
| |
Ongoing maintenance is a necessary part of homeownership. Most homeowners are resigned to reshingling their roof every decade or so. But in addition to the financial cost of a new roof, there’s an environmental one as well. Eleven million tonnes of asphalt shingles end up in landfills every year.
As awareness of the impact and lifespan of asphalt shingles grows, more consumers are looking for alternative roofing options.
Metal, long the standard in rural areas, is increasing in demand by suburban and urban homeowners. In fact, steel is the fastest growing choice in the roofing industry, outpacing all other materials.

Building the most sustainable, cost-effective mid-rise building - Using scientific analysis to guide construction
|
| |
Mid-rise residential buildings can be found in cities across North America, and more are under construction every day. With commercial spaces at street level and residential units above, this style of structure appeals to developers, tenants and city officials.
Mid-rises are less imposing than high rises, for both the residents that call them home and the pedestrians on the street outside. For cities which are looking to increase density and preserve green space, mid-rises are an attractive solution.
