NSCC Akerley Campus Student Housing
SP Dumaresq Architect Ltd.
2024
BMR served as the lead structural consultant on this 45,000 square foot, 100-bed student housing building with our partners at SP Dumaresq Architect. Built adjacent to the Nova Scotia Community College’s Akerley Campus in Dartmouth, the new student housing building serves to help address a critical lack of student housing alternatives in Nova Scotia. The building includes modern student residences, shared common spaces, and on-site parking. Structurally, the building consists of structural steel framing supported on insulated reinforced concrete tilt-up wall panels for ease of maintenance and energy efficiency. BMR provided structural consulting services for both the base building structure as well as the concrete wall panels with our partners at Bird Construction Group.
