    Canadian Museum of Nature

    With the ever-growing technological advances in today’s society, AM-TECH ensured that the heritage building built at the Canadian Museum of Nature – formerly known as the Victoria Memorial Museum Building, retained its cultural ambiance while conforming to modern electrical and fire alarm codes.

    Modernizing a Heritage Building

    Formerly known as the Victoria Memorial Museum Building, the Canadian Museum of Nature is housed by the structure that served as Canada’s first official museum – the birthplace of Canada’s national museums. Originally designed to mirror the Centre Block’s Parliament Buildings design, the museum contains approximately 14.6 million biological specimens dating back to 1856. AM-TECH took great pride in preserving a national treasure and has diligently applied this conviction to numerous heritage projects to this day.

    This project involved the stabilization and complete renovation/addition of the heritage building and site. It required the replacement of electrical, fire alarms, emergency systems, low voltage lighting, and generators. AM-TECH ensured that construction was completed and carefully phased to ensure all building operations remained functional in a semi-occupied high security building consisting of labs, public areas, offices and stages. 

    AM-TECH put great care into our work to ensure minimal disruption to the artifacts, laboratories and equipment present in this historic museum. Successful implementation of the client’s security policies ensured a safe and efficient worksite throughout the project.
