BCIT Health Sciences
BCIT’s brand new state of the art health sciences building at the iconic Burnaby campus
This stunning institution rising up four floors and covering 107,000sf was designed by Stantec Architecture to be a sustainable net-zero carbon emission building with a WELL Gold certification.
The kind of open air and bright natural light design is a dream come true for a wall and ceiling contractor. With its overly large social and learning spaces capitalizing high vaulted ceilings atriums and floor to ceiling glass, it streamlines nature, beauty, and brightness. This highlights the many drywall feature walls seamlessly intersecting with over the 25,000 sf of natural hemlock veneer and hemlock solid ceilings, walls and soffits on this project.
Peninsula wall & Ceiling was awarded a large scope of work through various specification sections. The exterior light structural stud framing complete with parapets, soffits and fascia’s, exterior gypsum sheathing. The interior steel stud framing of wall ceilings and bulkheads. Drywall and finish ready for paint. Supply and installation of sheets of led for the radiation protection walls. Thermal and acoustic insulation. Acoustic Tee bar ceilings with various specialty tiles. Acoustic fabric wrapped wall and ceiling panels. Acoustic wood slat walls, ceilings, and soffits.
This project included 300,00 lineal feet of steel studs, half a million square feet of drywall and finish, and at times over 50 trades people executing the scope of the wall and ceiling installer. While the entirety of this project was done during the COVID the team at Peninsula Wall & Ceiling was able to maintain and exceed all construction milestone schedule provided.
Working together with such a professional team as the Bird construction personnel on this site made it an absolute pleasure to be a part of this amazing project.
