Two Storey Office Building - Collingwood

CCTA provided the structural design for a two storey office building constructed in Collingwood, Ontario. CCTA's structural department worked alongside the project architect, JH Rust Architects to optimize the structural components to produce an efficient and cost-effective design.

Features

• Two storey, 3,000 m² steel framed structure consisting of metal deck supported on open web steel joists, steel beams and columns.
• Structure is supported on conventional reinforced concrete footings.
• Building incorporates a reinforced concrete elevator shaft and stairwell to resist lateral forces thus eliminating the need for steel cross-bracing that would interfere with glazed curtainwall.

West Orillia Sports Complex - Orillia, Ontario

The West Orillia Sports Complex consists of a twin pad arena, four soccer pitches, tennis courts and a storage/washroom building, scheduled for completion September, 2010.  Due to tight time lines (the project was initiated in early 2009) the City of Orillia elected to pursue a design-build project delivery method with  EllisDon as the design-builder.

CCTA provided the structural design for the twin pad arena and storage/washroom buildings.  Working closely with Ellis-Don and PBK Architects through several design iterations, CCTA structural staff designed an efficient, cost effective structure in a very compressed design schedule.

Features

• Twin pad arena structure consisting of pre engineered steel frame main building with extensive conventional steel front lobby and rear service area framing.  Precast concrete panel wall framing.
• Reinforced concrete foundation elements founded on engineered fill.
• Reinforced masonry and precast concrete change room and bleacher structure located between the ice surfaces.

Toronto Ski Club -  Town of The Blue Mountains, Ontario

The Toronto Ski Club is a private ski club located near the Blue Mountain Resort.  The existing facility was constructed in the early 1960’s with numerous additions and renovations undertaken over the years resulting in a building that does not function well for the membership.  Lloyd Hunt, Architect was retained by the Club to renovate and expand the building in order to enhance the members’ enjoyment during the ski season and to accommodate expanded use of the facility outside the core winter season.

CCTA is providing the structural design for the addition and reconfigured interior space which includes the creation of a service room within the existing attic space to house new mechanical units.

Features

• Review of existing structural elements for new configuration and loading.
• Design of addition including restructuring of existing bearing walls to open addition to existing areas.

Collingwood Public Library

The new three storey Collingwood Public Library, designed by WGD Architects, will be a steel-framed building located in the downtown’s historic district.  The exterior elevations thus blend in with the architectural flavour of the area, enclosing a modern, functional interior.  The Leed platinum design includes a green roof.

CCTA provided the civil and structural design.  Working closely with the architect, we were able to optimize the design, resulting in a tendered cost significantly under the pre-tender budget

Features

• Three storey, steel frame with hollow core slab floors.  Lateral  loads resisted by reinforced concrete elevator and stair shafts.
• Leed Platinum design including green roof.
• Third floor to be Municipal offices initially, but designed for library stack live loads.

Three Storey Apartment Building - Peterborough

This three storey apartment building was recently designed by Ronald Awde Architect.  CCTA provided the civil and structural design for this building, which consists of reinforced masonry shear walls and hollow core flood slabs.

Features

• Reinforced masonry shear walls to resist lateral loads.
• Light steel roof trusses.
• Approximately 2,300 m² on three floors.
