The ROM Renaissance project, one of the largest projects of its kind, is an exceptional example of engineering and steel design excellence. This high profile project exemplifies a passion and commitment to a transformative design and restoration process, one that is equally impressive and respectful. As part of the demolition program, salvaged structural steel was redirected to the U of T, Scarborough Campus Student Centre – a project that received honourable mention in the engineering category of the CISC’s 2005 awards program.
The intersecting gallery building superstructure is essentially five intersecting volumes constructed of structural steel frames. The intersections create two internal atria as key elements of the architectural expression. The sloped walls of each structure provide vertical support for the floors and extend to form roof elements. The cladding system is a composite panel system that ranges in translucence from opaque to clear.
