Government of Canada
Edmonton Federal Building

Project Description

This project consisted of a renovation to the historic Federal Building in Edmonton. The restored structure, vacant since 1989, is being used as a government office and meeting space. The Federal Building was designed in the 1930s in the art deco style and built in the 1950s.

A preliminary engineering study concluded the building was sound and renovation was both feasible and affordable. The province is targeting a LEED Gold rating, which it acheived January 2017, with features including a green roof, new energy efficient windows, and fully modern heating and cooling system. The project also includes a temporary gallery, permanent exhibition space and theatre, totaling 14,000 ft² in area. The temporary gallery requires precise environmental controls including rigid temperature, humidity and acoustical criteria to prevent the degradation of government artifacts and to accommodate traveling exhibitions.
