Gross Floor Area: 88,160 sf

The Project

Located next to the Frank Hasenfratz Centre For Excellence In Manufacturing, this new building dubbed the iHUB will be a “future focused innovation centre,” and will “focus on product and process innovation to drive the future of their business.

Both the federal and provincial government in Ontario presented Linamar Corporation with collective grants of up to $100 million to help them develop their advanced manufacturing technologies. These investments are expected to create over 1,500 jobs in Canada while helping to maintain more than 8,000 other positions.

Linamar will manufacture Synaptive’s products at its innovation hub in Guelph. While it already has an innovation centre that focuses on process innovation and materials development for the auto industry, it created the new hub to develop products that could be part of the company’s future.

The two revolutionary products are Synaptive’s the Modus V, a fully automated digital microscope with a robotic arm that automatically adjusts itself for optimal views during surgeries, and Evry, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system for use in critical and acute situations.

Kiwi Newton completed this industrial construction project in Guelph, Ontario, as the Design-Builder, managing every aspect from concept to completion.
