Crosier Kilgour & Partners LTD. - Building Envelope

The Winnipeg Convention Centre was originally constructed in 1973. As with many buildings built in that era, the cladding has experienced significant deterioration as a result of a poor air barrier. Crosier Kilgour & Partners performed an extensive investigation on the Convention Centre using Impact-Echo technology to determine the degree and extent of building envelope deterioration.

As a result of the investigation, emergency repairs were performed on portions of the building to stabilize the existing stone cladding until a new building envelope could be designed.

As the prime consultants on the project, Crosier Kilgour & Partners upgraded the air barrier and recladded the building. The project's scope included the removal of 60,000 square feet of Tyndall stone, insulation, and old mastic, and the application of a torch on air barrier, increased amounts of insulation, and a composite aluminium panel designed with the pressure equalized rainscreen principle.
