Challenges specific to this project include complex stakeholder management, something Kearns Mancini is well positioned to address given our portfolio of tenant fit-outs for clients such as the Royal Bank of Canada and the Bank of Montreal. Completing the tenant fit-out with the building still under construction was also a challenge of this project that Kearns Mancini successfully addressed.
Of particular note is the second phase of the project, in which Kearns Mancini designed “Deloitte University”, a 31,000 square foot education and training facility teaching fully accredited courses and programs to Deloitte employees of North, Central and South America. The professional development centre will be used for training and staff conferences.
The facility consists of classrooms, training rooms, breakout rooms and multi-purpose rooms. Audio visual technology is a key component of the project and all classrooms are fully equipped with wall mounted, touch screen computers for interactive learning.
This project achieved LEED CI Gold certification
