Kickoff Ceremony Launches Toronto Premium Outlets Project

knielsen — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:05:46 +0000

Following the groundbreaking ceremony on April 25^th 2012, HH Angus’ mechanical and electrical consulting engineering work begins on the new greenfield project, Toronto Premium Outlets in Halton Hills, Ontario. We are working in collaboration with mda engineers out of Maumee, Ohio. Project architects are Simon Property Group, Petroff Architects and The Collaborative.

The centre is a joint project by U.S. outlet mall developer giant, Simon Property Group Inc., and Ontario-based Calloway Real Estate Investment Trust. It brings the popular American-style high-end outlet mall concept to Canada. Premium Outlets has already opened 70 centres in the U.S., Japan, Puerto Rico and Korea. The Halton Hills location will feature 500,000 ft² of retail space and more than 100 designer outlet stores. The site, at Trafalger Road and Steeles in Halton Hills, is within an hour’s drive of 6 million bargain hunters and, when complete, will save many shoppers the hassle of cross-border shopping.

The first phase of the retail centre is expected to open to the public by August 2013.

The 2012 Toronto Green Business Award describes the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre as “a steward of the environment”, committed to reducing its dependence on non-renewable energy and reducing waste within the Hospital. The Centre achieved reductions through a number of programs, including a $28-million energy and facility renewal program which resulted in a savings of $1.6 million.

Initiatives included the installation of a “cool roof,” a partnership with Smart Commute, and a new waste management program. Sunnybrook’s annual Earth Matters showcase event also raises environmental awareness for its employees and the community.

Since 1945 HH Angus has provided mechanical and electrical consulting engineering to the Sunnybrook Campus, which now totals more than 2,000,000 ft², including most recently for M Wing. The M Wing was added to Sunnybrook’s network of medical buildings with the intention of reducing strain on the cancer, heart and trauma programs when serving an increasing number of clientele.

The new wing was built in two phases – an initial 5-storey building, with a four storey addition, under the recently completed Redevelopment Phase. The addition represents an area of approximately 620,000 ft². M Wing consolidates some of the services that had been dispersed throughout the hospital and replaces some of the outdated services.

The University of Montreal Hospital Centre (CHUM) is reportedly the largest P3 project in North America. Located on a downtown site in east Montreal, CHUM will occupy more than 2 ½ city blocks with over 286,000 m²of floor space.

HH Angus is responsible for the mechanical, electrical and security engineering. Phase I completion is planned for 2015, Phase II for 2019. During the first year in the design/build phase, more than 50 members of the HH Angus team are engaged in completing the design concept and advancing the design development, as well as designing and reviewing the site preparation work.

The anticipated plan for the complex consists of a main 20-storey acute care block, with several levels underground. The upper floors will house 775 beds in single rooms, while the lower floors will contain diagnostic and treatment functions such as a large emergency department, 39 operating rooms and a full cancer centre. The design calls for distinct towers to house ambulatory care clinics, office space and logistics. In addition, a large amphitheatre will host conferences and large meetings.
