Transcona Library was an architecturally challenging project for Winnipeg’s metal crew, led by foreman Robert Hogue. One challenge the crew faced was the installation of 18-foot vertical wall panels and large angled soffit panels. Flynn was able to utilize TSC services. They scanned, modeled, produced panel cards, and provided Flynn with an installation roadmap which helped save time and produce a visually stunning façade. Flynn was able to successfully and safely install all 76 squares of AMC panels thanks to the effort put forth by the crew.
The glazing scope of the contract called for a seamless curtain wall design, complete with phantom swing doors, phantom vents, and 4-sided SSG curtainwall for all four exterior elevations. The interior was designed with a similar aesthetic in mind, with floor-to-ceiling glazing units weighing as much as 465 lbs.! Tossing and standing the glass was an interesting challenge due to the low ceiling height, but our glazing crew handled it safely and efficiently.
The unique shape of the panels and the clean lines of the curtain wall combine for an eye-catching building, thanks to the great finishing work by our metals and glazing crews.
