Institutional

Through our proven pre-construction services approach, project construction management systems, and design-build techniques, Ledcor is ideally suited to handle the complex projects of the institutional sector.

We know how to collaborate with public and private sector clients. We understand the value in identifying and working with the client, design teams, and project stakeholders early on to create value and an environment for project success.

Whether we are building a K-12 educational facility, campus buildings, or a state-of-the-art healthcare or research facility, we can customize our construction approach and methodology to suit any delivery schedule without compromising the quality of the project or safety.   

We’ve built numerous single and multi-phased institutional projects across the continent.

Our institutional construction experience includes:
  • Government and public works (police stations, fire halls, offices)
  • Healthcare (hospitals, research laboratories, training facilities)
  • Education (K-12 and post-secondary institutions)
  • Military (Department of Defense, mission critical facilities)

Ledcor Renew

Ledcor is also a leader in sustainable construction. We help clients optimize their building design criteria through a triple bottom line approach of people, planet and profit, for both planned new and existing facilities. We understand the balance between great design and constructability to successfully meet our clients’ current sustainability goals.

Featured Project

Project Profile

Art Gallery of Alberta

Edmonton, Alberta

Designed by world-renowned architect Randall Stout and completed in 2010, this $88 million building features exquisite open concept windows highlighted by a distinctive stainless steel curtain wall with painted zinc components. The four-story renovation and addition to the existing gallery incorporates 7,900 m2 (85,000 ft2) of new space, a new entry lobby, great hall, and a multipurpose 150-seat auditorium, named Ledcor Theatre.  
 
Constructed using innovative Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, Ledcor was able to use real-time dynamic modeling techniques, increasing productivity in design and construction. BIM technology creates a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility prior to construction. The resulting 3D model becomes a shared resource to support decision making from the earliest conceptual stages, through to design and construction.
 
The Art Gallery of Alberta was the recipient of Alberta Construction Magazine’s Top Project Award in 2009 for innovation in design, and named 2011 Project of the Year by Edmonton Construction Association. The Gallery also went on to win the 2011 Architectural Award at the 2011 Alberta Steel Design Awards of Excellence.
