Project

Working on the New Central Library alongside Stuart Olson and Dialog for this project was a true pleasure. The architectural and structural design of the building is truly a sight to behold. The unique design presented numerous challenges and opportunities for Norfab to innovate.

Norfab was responsible for all miscellaneous metal items, exit stairs, and exterior grating. Additionally, the ornamental metals, such as the exterior/interior stainless railings and landscaping metal items (excluding the Drinking Birds), were under our scope as well.

Highlights

The beginning highlight of the project was the Atrium Stairs. Norfab worked closely with Stuart Olson and their survey team, taking countless independent scans to evaluate the geometry. We worked closely with Dialog to resolve construction tolerances needed to make this a successful installation and fabrication.
