RJC (Structural Engineer of Record), alongside owners CMLC and the project partners PCL will be hosting a tour of the currently partially completed $500M expansion of Calgary’s BMO Centre. The expansion will double the centre’s capacity for conferences, meetings, and events, making it Western Canada’s largest convention centre at more than one million sq. ft. With more than 100,000 sq. ft. of new exhibition space, 38 new meeting rooms, two new ballrooms totalling 70,000 sq. ft., and a dramatic central gathering space anchored by the largest indoor fireplace in Canada, the BMO Centre will be a state-of-the-art venue that showcases the best in both technology and western hospitality. Crews recently completed the installation of the 9,000 metric tonnes of steel that form the structure of the 565,000 sq. ft. expansion, which now stands taller than the adjacent GMC Stadium and Saddledome on Stampede Park. The tour will focus on the steel structure, coordination, and project execution. This is an exciting time for attendees to get an up-close look at the completed structure and connections before interior finishing takes place.
