Cineplex & Rec Room
Commercial
Cineplex at Erin Mills Mall in Mississauga is one of the interesting commercial projects. It contains six theaters and rec room.
The biggest challenge was the coordination with Existing Building and Site conditions and to keep the building complying with the code requirements.
My role was updating Floor plans, Elevations and sections, to coordinate with Engineers documents, preparing Wall sections, Enlarged Plans, and Plan & Sections details.
I reviewed shop drawings and issued Site Instructions, Change Notices, and change directives.
