Project Overview

This 2,500-square- meter facility, was the first of its kind offering Electronic Bingo in Ontario; it replaces the previous building owing to poor indoor air quality and state of repair. The building includes a large gaming floor, dining and entertainment areas, a sports bar and lounge, outdoor patios and 28,000-square- meters of parking. The project included envelope repairs, structural rehabilitation, interior and exterior renovations, construction of dynamic steel and timber porte cocheres, all new floor, wall, and ceiling finishes, and a major upgrade to the mechanical and electrical systems. The multi-phased project also included new grounds parking, hardscaping and landscaping. The client’s goal was to redevelop the existing building introducing modern elements of design, and a fully digital and electronic gaming facility. One of the major challenges was working in a fully operational facility. Not only was the phasing and scheduling critical, it was also very important to maintain rapport with the operational staff, who continued their day to day business operations in a construction zone. The project was a great success. Through the efficient and sequenced work maintained with trade contractors and the project team, the interior and exterior structure finished under budget and on time. Renokrew met all deadlines through proper planning and execution, and the team worked with trades to meet and exceed schedule expectations. The owners and staff are excited about the finished product and were positive throughout all aspects of construction.
