City of Toronto
Nathan Phillips Square Spirit Garden
The City of Toronto has been revitalizing areas of the City’s landmark Nathan Phillips Square at New City Hall. As part of the improvements, a new Teaching, Learning, Sharing, and Healing space was designed and constructed to recognize and honour the experience of Indian Residential School Survivors.
The project consisted of upgrades to existing surfaces with all new landscaping, including a water feature, large sculpture and public building.
HH Angus’ scope of work included mechanical and electrical engineering, security systems consulting, IMIT design, and commissioning. Specifically, the scope featured a full technical audit and inventory report to document all infrastructure and equipment impacted by the project; power supply for new landscape and other LED lighting fixtures; connection of new area drainage to existing storm systems in the parking level; mechanical and electrical services for the new 450 ft2 Teaching Lodge; and design of security systems for public spaces and the Teaching Lodge.
HH Angus also developed and prepared a commissioning plan for all mechanical and electrical equipment being installed during the project.
One of the interesting challenges of this project was working with multiple stakeholders to ensure the vision of all parties for the project was addressed.
