BC Cancer Centre
The new BC Cancer Centre is described as the single largest capital investment into the expansion of cancer care in the Kamloops region.
Interior Health, in partnership with BC Cancer, is building a new cancer centre at the Westlands site of the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC. The new facility includes design and construction of a 5-storey outpatient radiation oncology clinic. Featuring three linear accelerators for radiation therapy, a CT simulator, a diagnostic MRI, ambulatory care space, a 470-stall parkade and an interfaith sacred space for patients and families, the new Cancer Centre will respond to increased demand for cancer services on the main campus, and facilitate 16,500 treatments annually while significantly reducing long-distance travel for many patients.
HH Angus is providing mechanical and electrical engineering, ICAT design and vertical transportation consulting services for this project which is led by EllisDon Corporation.
The Kamloops Cancer Centre is scheduled for completion in 2028.

G20 Summit RCMP Installation
When the 2010 G20 Summit unexpectedly relocated from Huntsville, ON to Toronto on very short notice, preparations instantly went into overdrive. The Summit represented at that time, the largest and most expensive security operation in Canada. All work, from blank page to final installation, was completed in just three weeks, as a result of the change of venue.
HH Angus was engaged under complete secrecy to provide mechanical, electrical and complex communications design to the RCMP G20 offices at the Toronto Dominion Centre, reworking existing conditions on two floors to meet the very tight schedule. The complexity of the installation and the accelerated timeline for the design/build required a high degree of collaboration with the client, the interior designer and the contractor.
The design/build project called for fibre optic service to be routed to 28 workstations, complete with highly secure fiber optics backbone cables on two floors for security monitoring. At the same time, we completed design and installation of over 1300 CAT6 UTP data cables for 420 workstations. Some workstations were serviced with as many as 12 strands of fibre optic cable. A total of more than 300 strands of fiber optic cable were installed to the desks. Tamper-proof conduit was only one of the specialized features implemented to deliver the security levels required for the operational aspect of the location.
Although the installation was temporary, it had to be built as if it was permanent. While the mechanical and electrical work was relatively straightforward, the communications installation was highly complex and ultra secure, in addition to being completely confidential. In the entire company, only three people at HH Angus knew the work being done was for the G20 Summit.

Data Centre & Offices (5 buildings)
The robust infrastructure of the data centre's five buildings supports comprehensive data services. Positioned near key intercontinental submarine cables, it will ensure seamless connectivity.
This new build facility is a regional hub for digital innovation, featuring five data centre buildings and two premium office buildings designed for reliability and sustainability.
HH Angus provided mechanical and electrical design and engineering services to the project. Our responsibilities encompass a wide range of tasks, including developing the Basis of Design, reviewing site plans and documentation produced by local European engineering teams, and providing input for Request for Proposal (RFP) processes.
Crafted with precision, this data centre will be setting new standards for efficiency, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to the global average. Engineered to excel even in the most challenging climates, it epitomizes efficiency and sustainability. The data centre is targeting 100% renewable energy - leveraging utility green energy programs, solar and wind power purchase agreements, and certified carbon credits to be operationally carbon neutral. With the goal of transforming data centres into catalysts for sustainable development, the goal is to minimize environmental impact while delivering reliable and efficient data services.

Confidential Client
U.S. Data Centre
This U.S. data centre is backed by secure controls and continuous monitoring for optimal performance. The facility is designed to Tier III standards for concurrent maintainability.
The data centre boasts robust infrastructure for comprehensive data services. HH Angus provided mechanical and electrical design and engineering services for the project. Our responsibilities included the design of the building’s HVAC, plumbing and drainage, and fire protection systems. Our team was responsible for all base building power requirements, HV distribution, and lighting systems. As well, advanced security measures have been implemented to ensure the safety and security of the critical infrastructure.
Our approach centered on the seamless integration of mechanical, electrical, data, communications, and building control systems. With a focus on sustainability, the data centre focuses on minimizing environmental impact by using non-toxic glycol and closed-loop evaporators for secondary cooling.
Targeting operational carbon neutrality, the data centre leverages utility green energy programs, solar and wind power purchase agreements, and certified carbon credits. By embracing sustainable practices, the goal is to minimize environmental impact while delivering reliable and efficient data services for the end-users.

Novartis Pharmaceuticals Canada Inc.
755 Berri Street, Montreal
Novartis Canada needed to rethink their physical work
space to better support their focus on innovation. They
relocated their headquarters from Dorval to downtown
Montreal close to transit, amenities and, most importantly, many of their healthcare and technology partners.
The project involved the fit-up of a two-storey, 32,291 ft2 commercial office space. Our design services included on-site verification of existing mechanical, electrical and communications systems, as well as reviewing the integration of the lighting design. The new space has 100 unassigned workstations and 21 meeting rooms, which range in size to fit anywhere from four to 10 people, are equipped with digital touchscreen reservation system.
HH Angus assessed the mechanical and electrical base building systems and coordinated communication requirements with the client’s IT representative. Final deliverables comprised mechanical, electrical, and communications drawings and specifications. The deliverables were executed in English and French for permit, tender, and construction.
While doing the project, Gensler, the client, requested additional services to accommodate an expedited and compressed schedule. As a solution to this, HH Angus mobilized additional designers in the various disciplines and added assistance of internal project management staff. Moreover, more meetings were set to better coordinate the design. Overall, HH Angus, as part of their role of executing the Gensler’s goal, assimilated into the client’s mission in order to successfully execute the project.
