Innovative Precast Solutions at Canada College Science and Technology Center

The Canada College Science and Technology Center stands as a beacon of modern architectural design and engineering. The project, meticulously designed by HGA and constructed by McCarthy, incorporates the innovative use of glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) panels to create a visually striking and durable exterior. Covering a significant portion of the building’s façade, these GFRC panels not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the center but also ensure long-term durability and low maintenance, essential for a high-traffic educational facility. 

GFRC panels were chosen for this project due to their lightweight yet robust nature, making them an ideal choice for the Science and Technology Center. The panels provide excellent durability against environmental factors, reducing the need for frequent maintenance. Additionally, the ability to create intricate designs and textures with GFRC allowed HGA to achieve a unique, modern look that complements the innovative spirit of the educational facility.

The use of GFRC in this project underscores Willis Construction’s capability to deliver advanced precast solutions that meet the specific needs of modern architectural designs. By leveraging GFRC’s versatility and strength, the Canada College Science and Technology Center not only meets the aesthetic and functional requirements of the educational facility but also sets a new standard for sustainability and design excellence in campus architecture.
