Grout McTavish Architecture was selected to remediated the failed envelope and green roof system on Arthur Erikson’s last project at SFU. The project saw the complete replacement of all terraced roofing systems glazing renewal and replacement of all vegetated areas to increase the thermal performance of the building while integrating a state of the art membrane leak detection system. Subsequent phases saw the remediation of the building’s signature atrium skylight while upgrading the natural ventilation system to ensure the optimization of the building HVAC systems to reduce energy demands.
