LEED Gold Certified Retrofit

Ryerson University
Toronto, Ontario

Challenge / Solution

McGregor Allsop provided the mechanical, electrical, and building automation system (BAS) engineering design and site supervision for the renovation of 105 Bond Street. The original building was built in 1914, and an addition was built in the 1950s. Our responsibilities extended from the demolition of the previous mechanical and electrical systems, to the commissioning of the new mechanical, electrical, and BAS systems.

A complete design of the mechanical systems was carried out including new duct work, new roof top units, renovations to the existing boiler system and upgrades to the existing sprinkler systems. The complete design of the electrical system included new lights, emergency lighting, power system upgrades, new panels and upgrades to the fire alarm and life safety systems.

As the BAS System Integrator we engineered and programmed the integration of all of the building systems and developed an open-protocol web-based BAS system.

Modular Building

Bruce Power Nuclear
Tiverton, Ontario

Challenge / Solution

McGregor Allsop Limited was retained by Bruce Power to provide a Mechanical, Electrical and Building Automation System design for a two storey modular addition to an existing office building. This addition was built to accommodate new mechanical and electrical rooms as well as air cooled chillers on the roof.

A two level IT centre occupies approximately half of the building. The IT data centre cooling system and electrical supply is fully 2N redundant to meet the client’s very strict design requirements. The electrical and mechanical systems were designed with particular attention to the ease of equipment servicing while maintaining uninterrupted system operation. The modular building concept provided the scheduling benefit of performing the site work (site services and foundations) while the building was built off site.
