The McGill Life Sciences Complex was inaugurated in 2008, and celebrated its 10th Anniversary in September 2018. Boasting a long history of collaboration between its teachers and researchers, McGill University took its deeply rooted research culture a giant step further with the opening of the multimillion-dollar Life Sciences Complex. Our landmark facility, the largest construction project in McGill's history, encourages even greater interdisciplinary research by bringing some of the world's key scientific talent under one roof, speeds up the process of translating discoveries into treatments and cures, and in the process strengthens Montreal's position as a leading hub of biomedical research in Canada and the world.
Project Description:
This project aims to re-position HVAC components located in the Life Sciences Complex to be more easily accessible and maintained without affecting the operations of the CL3 facility, including installation of new remote sensors and wiring to the HVAC system
Project Scope :
The project involves mechanical and electrical intervention to accommodate the new research equipment for the CL3 facility, including new bio safety cabinets and a new autoclave. The renovation also includes re-positioning exhaust fans in the main mechanical room to be more easily accessible and maintained without affecting the operations of the CL3 facility and the installation of new remote sensors. Additionally, a new pump will be installed to address the water pressure issues inherent to the building.
Architectural interventions are included to allow access above the ceiling for electrical and mechanical interventions and the ceilings, floors, and walls will be resealed and refinished to ensure they meet the cleanability requirements.
