St. Andrew's Community Centre
Architecture49 Inc.
2019
Completed in 2019 with our partners at Architecture49, BMR was the lead structural consultant on this 32,000 square foot community-use facility, which was designed for members of all ages. The facility includes a large gymnasium, multi-purpose/dance studio, creative arts spaces, community kitchen, meeting/gathering spaces, as well as an indoor playground. Structurally, BMR collaborated closely with the design team on the cast-in insulated foundation system for energy efficiency, structural support system for large areas of curtain glazing to maximize natural light, as well as the long-span structural systems to achieve the expansive open-concept design.
