Osgoode Hall Law School | Blackwell Structural Engineers

Program

We were involved in the extensive renovations to this heritage building from the late 1800s. Our work included performing a seismic upgrade to the existing concrete structure, followed by the addition of a single storey steel structure to the concrete structure, and the use of battered, exposed steel columns in order to maintain a façade while minimizing impact on existing foundations. Modifications to existing elevators and classrooms (for the purposes of expansion) included steel framing to support column and beam removals, as well as a single-post switchback steel stair, cut into existing floor space.
