contained a 40,000 square foot Innovation Centre and a 1,055 stall
parking structure for the University of Windsor. The project was
awarded on a predetermined, not to exceed budget. In addition to a
cost-efficient design, the project had to contribute to a vibrant student

This four-storey condominium project is constructed of the KiwiCondoCommercial Building System, which uses solid precast concrete walls, roof and floors. The exterior walls consists of precast concrete, with a continuous insulation layer on the outside of the precast walls. Keeping the building thermally broken from the outside allows the interior structural concrete mass to provide thermal resilience to help level the peaks and valleys of temperatures during the day.

In addition, the project uses photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of the building and parking structure, thermal solar panels for DHW (Domestic Hot Water) requirements, in-floor heating and cooling with geothermal ground loops taking advantage of the site’s ground water and natural surroundings.
