Congratulations to Megan Angus, Principal and Director - Angus Connect Division, whose hard work and dedication has been recognized with a nomination for the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Awards.
Now in their 30th year, the awards celebrate the achievements of successful women in Canada. Finalists will be announced later this year. We’re very proud of Megan’s accomplishments on a day-to-day basis, and so pleased that she is being honoured with this nomination.
HH Angus has been successfully delivering projects in the Ottawa region for many years, and we’re excited to have now opened a permanent office there. Our current work in the NCR includes mission critical work for a major national bank and a telecom company, as well as commercial tenant work for a large financial institution. We have many completed projects for clients such as Tunney’s Pasture, Ottawa General Hospital, Algonquin College, National War Museum, National Art Gallery, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Carleton University, Government of Canada’s John A. Macdonald Building, University of Ottawa, TD Bank, Delta Hotel, Public Services and Procurement Canada, and Bank of Montreal, among others.
Expanding our presence in Ottawa allows us to collaborate even more closely with our existing clients who have projects in the area, while creating new relationships. With 100+ years in business, we bring deep expertise across a range of sectors, including healthcare, commercial, education, hospitality, mission critical and lab/research facilities, energy/utilities, industrial, sports and recreation, and transportation.
Our core services include mechanical and electrical engineering, sustainability consulting (LEED, WELL, Net-Zero, Living Building Challenge, low carbon energy, energy modeling and CFD analysis), lighting design, ICAT (Information and Communications Technology) design, vertical transportation, tenant improvements, commissioning, digital services (BIM, 3D reality capture, digital twin), and digital strategy and planning consulting.
Our Ottawa office is part of an overall team of 250 engineers, designers, technologists, consultants, and support staff seamlessly connected and collaborating across the country.

HH Angus was an early adopter of Matterport scanning software – a tool that helps our Digital Services team create detailed 3D models of building infrastructure, from a single room to full buildings models.
We regularly assist clients across a range of industries with virtualizing physical assets and construction summary videos. To see this in action, click on the links below for real-life examples. These videos were created for the University Health Network in Toronto to demonstrate to internal stakeholders the value of the Matterport platform and the capabilities of the technology - the Matterport scanner (used to document project milestones), and the Theta V 360 camera (used to capture site progress). These videos summarized site progress by collecting visual data during almost two years of construction.
Phase 1
Phase 2
The utility of 3D scans for building owners, facility managers and consultants, both during and after construction, cannot be overstated, as it allows for highly accurate virtualization of physical spaces to improve and facilitate collaboration and problem solving. Key benefits are the ability to share construction progress with stakeholders, documentation of as-built conditions, and ease of accessibility - Matterport scans and site progress scans are all accessible with a web link and internet connection.

Engineers of Tomorrow is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to inspiring the next generation of problem solvers and game changers. According to their website, “We believe in the power of great engineering outreach to shape the future.” Their program pairs professional engineers with students working on an engineering problem. When Caitlin Campbell saw their call for industry volunteers, she accepted the challenge.
“The project is the Engineers of Tomorrow Future City Experience and this year’s theme is ‘Living on the Moon’. The students have to think about how humans could live on the moon and what they would need in terms of food, power, and infrastructure. They use this information to build a physical model of their city. I wanted to get involved to help the students work through any problems they encounter while also promoting engineering as a possible career. Many young people don’t know what engineers do and therefore don’t consider it as a possible career choice.”
As a mentor to a Grade 7 class, Caitlin first met with the students to talk to them about her work and life, and why she went into engineering. She was also able to offer advice on project management; the teacher identified the current challenge as possibly the biggest project the students had yet undertaken and felt they needed help planning their time. Caitlin will meet with the students a few more times before virtually attending the final presentations next month.
Caitlin sees her mentorship as a win-win proposition: “The students get to work on an engineering problem, dive into technical research to find out what’s needed to live on the moon and meet real-life engineers to learn about engineering. It’s impressive to hear what they have learned about the moon in such a short period of time. And I get to promote engineering as a career while also giving back to the community!”

Caitlin is a Senior Electrical Manager in the Commercial Division of HH Angus. She has been involved in a wide variety of cultural, institutional and commercial projects involving all stages of design, construction and commissioning.
On March 31, 2022, Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and the Ministry of the Solicitor General announced the selection of EllisDon Infrastructure Justice as the preferred proponent to design, build, finance, and maintain the Thunder Bay Correctional Complex project. The EllisDon Infrastructure Justice team includes:
HH Angus is pleased to be acting as Mechanical Engineering Consultant to the project. The Correctional Complex is the latest addition to our portfolio of institutional infrastructure projects in Canada. These include current active projects such as Grandview Children’s Hospital, Kingston General Hospital Redevelopment (PDC), Royal Inland Hospital Patient Care Tower, Bayer’s Lake QEII Health Sciences Centre, Michael Garron Hospital (PDC) in Toronto, and previous projects in the Thunder Bay area, including the Thunder Bay Courthouse and Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. The latter also comprised facilities for mental health services and a cancer care centre, as well as a later project providing an outdoor cogeneration installation.
The project is expected to reach financial close in the coming weeks, with final design and construction to begin thereafter. Construction start and completion dates are still to be announced.
