Grand River Collegiate Institute Expansion, Kitchener
MGM proudly worked as part of the consulting team lead by Kingsland+ Architects Inc. to provide civil engineering design and contract administration services for the Grand River Collegiate Institute Expansion located at 175 Indian Road, Kitchener, Ontario.
The expansion project consisted of a 27,000 m2, two-storey addition to provide a new student entrance, study commons, science wing, administration offices, washrooms, and other ancillary spaces. To accommodate the building expansion, the surrounding vehicle parking areas were reconstructed and expanded.
Throughout the application process, MGM navigated through the City of Kitchener’s unique and challenging stormwater management design and analysis requirements, which included meeting a strict stormwater balance target and using software modelling in analysing quantity controls and sewer capacity. Our project engineers successfully satisfied the stringent water balance criterion through a creative infiltration gallery strategy that enabled our client to avoid the City’s costly cash in lieu fees.
MGM successfully delivered a practical and efficient site engineering and stormwater management system supported by software analysis, which ensured the satisfaction of governing agencies. Our dedicated team effecively managed the application process and reviewed construction works to ensure timely approvals and conformance to the approved plans.
“Kingsland+ Architects Inc. have worked with MGM Consulting Inc. for over 15 years. MGM is our go to consultant for all civil requirements and has proved to be a reliable, professional consultant we can trust to provide practical solutions in stickhandling the ever-increasing jurisdictional requirements we encounter for our educational, government and industrial projects. MGM provides timely responses and reasonably priced service that we rely on.”
