AREA: Underground Parking Garage SQUARE FOOTAGE: 200,000 Square Feet LOCATION: Halifax, Nova Scotia AFTER The Nova Centre is a one million square foot mixed use development in the heart of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is inspired and shaped by the local community. The development includes a new convention centre, boutique hotel and business towers, which share space with restaurants, shops and “Grafton Place”, a European-style shared street. The Nova Centre’s contemporary architecture is designed to pay tribute to Halifax’s seafaring past, with the main tower resembling the rising sail of a tall ship arriving in the Halifax Harbour. The entire centre is being constructed sustainably, with the project targeting LEED Gold certification, and includes low emission materials throughout to promote health for all who visit the building. Stonhard worked with Ellis Don and Argyle Developments to deliver a world class finish for the parking decks of this prestigious development.
THE CHALLENGE With final finishes scheduled for installation as the project reached completion, Stonhard was required to install the parking deck finishes within a very compressed time budget. In keeping with the scale of the building, the parking decks encompass approximately 200,000ft2. This includes 94,000ft2 of slab on grade sealers, 8,600ft2 of fast cure MMA systems for the ramps and 61,000ft2 of multi layered, heavy duty polyurethane deck waterproofing materials for suspended slabs and drive lanes. • • • •
