Significant progress has been made on the excavation at our Pine + Glen project in Coquitlam, with piling and foundation work for the first tower now underway. This mixed-use development is located within walking distance of rapid transit and will feature three high-rise towers of 51, 46, and 23-storeys. The towers are connected by a shared 7-storey podium, encompassing approximately 864,000 SF. The project includes a substantial commercial component, with 72,000 SF of retail and office space integrated into the podium, as well as an 8,500 SF daycare that will accommodate up to 100 children. Glotman Simpson is proud to be the Structural Engineer for this project. #UrbanDevelopment #Coquitlam #LEEDSilver #SustainableDesign #TransitOrientedDevelopment #StructuralEngineering #StructuralDesign #StructuralEngineers #WeAreGS #CreativeThinkers

The Kitsilano Secondary School renewal honours its 1927 heritage while embracing modern sustainability and safety. With a design built to LEED Gold standards, the school offers a seismically safe environment, including a gym constructed to post-disaster structural standards. Students benefit from a bright, 21st Century learning environment, enhanced by extensive glazing that floods classrooms with natural light. The project preserved the historic façade while introducing new academic wings, specialty classrooms, and a state-of-the-art theatre. This renewal also features a 26,000 SF Neighbourhood Learning Centre, serving both the school and the wider Kitsilano community. Glotman Simpson is proud to have been the Structural Engineer on this project. #StructuralEngineering #StructuralDesign #StructuralEngineers #WeAreGS #CreativeThinkers #SustainableDesign #SeismicSafety #HeritagePreservation #LEEDGold #EducationalInfrastructure #Kitsilano

Footings, though hidden beneath the surface, play a vital role in the structural integrity of buildings. These elements transfer loads from the structure above to the soil below, making them essential for stability. While they may not be as visible as mass timber or steel brace systems, footings significantly impact a building's global warming potential (GWP). In Metro Vancouver, where strong soil allows for pad footings, we’ve focused on enhancing these elements for both efficiency and sustainability. Here’s what we’ve discovered: 🟨 Concrete Strength and Thickness: Using lower-strength concrete can reduce GWP significantly. 🟨 Shear Reinforcement: Under old versions of the code, adding shear reinforcement can significantly reduce GWP and did not have a significant cost impact; however, with new versions of the code, this no longer seems to be the case. Our studies in Vancouver, Surrey, and Seattle reveal that minimizing concrete strength and optimizing design can lead to cost-effective, low-GWP footings.

From its origins as a housing development for over 2,000 Olympians during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, the Vancouver Olympic Village transitioned into a mixed-use community. The 14-acre Olympic Village was the largest single phase development in Canada, and was constructed in under 3 years with a large integrated project team working together to meet the inflexible deadline. The Vancouver Olympic Village is among the world's greenest neighbourhoods and boasts features like solar heating and lush green roofs, embodying our dedication to environmentally conscious design. Fourteen years later, the Olympic Village has flourished into a thriving community, featuring residential buildings, shops, a community centre, as well as restaurants. Glotman Simpson is proud to have been a part of this project as the Structural Engineer. #SustainableDesign #VancouverBuilding #StructuralEngineer #StructuralEngineering #StructuralDesign #Architecture #CreativeThinkers #WeAreGS #GlotmanSimpson
