University of Manitoba Helen Glass Nursing Facility & Parkade Project

PCL's Design Build Team selected cast-in-place concrete as a structural framing of the four level, 11,000 s.m.   (118,000s.f.) University of Manitoba Helen Glass Centre for Nursing.  This state-of-the-art building serves as an education facility for nurses, faculty and the University of Manitoba Students' Union office space.  The building hosts the most advanced lecture theatre at the University of Manitoba for 100 students, nursing training labs (hospital alike), computer laboratories and interactive rooms.

Adjacent to the building, PCL constructed a 3.5 split level 15,200sm/$368.02sm precast concrete parkade for 500 vehicles and a potential 2,500sm (27,000sf) storage space in the crawlspace. 

During the 1999 Pan Am Games, the building was used temporarily to accommodate 1,000 athletes and officials from Central and South American countries.
