Story

The Toronto South Detention Centre, currently under construction, is an 846,000 ft² LEED certified facility for Ontario’s Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.  This project includes three seven-storey detention towers, an administrative building, support buildings and an Intermittent Centre.  

We were challenged with a large complex project with a tight time frame for design and construction.  Our solution to meet these demands was a precast concrete framed detention building utilizing precast cells, columns, beams and floors. The precast cells act as an integral part of the building structure. This precast solution allowed for the off-site fabrication of components and a significantly compressed construction schedule.
