Network Control Centre Building - O.P.P. Communications Centre

H. Bradford Green Architect Inc. was engaged by Osburn Associates Architect Inc. in 2006 to provide design and contract administration services for the conversion and renovation of an existing building for the new Network Control Centre (NCC) as part of the OPP Communication Centre project they had undertaken for ORC. The NCC building was tendered and constructed under a separate contract from the Communication Centre.

The project entailed renovations to an existing 225 s.m. pre-engineered steel storage building to accommodate the new Network Control Centre consisting of office space, storage space and switch room. The building exterior was refinished to complement the proposed finishes for the new Communication Centre to be constructed on the site. The building envelope was extensively upgraded to allow for efficient climate control in the barrier-free facility.
