One One Ten performed a limited role as a sub-consultant to Hasegawa Engineering contributing within a predestined contractor led design-build process. As such, One One Ten provided only fundamental architectural services pertaining to oversight on life safety and building code compliance matters and regular reviews during the production of construction documentation. Field review services during the construction administration phase were also provided under Hasegawa Engineering for related architectural scopes.
The construction of the Monsanto CBMC building includes the significant expansion of new manufacturing facilities for canola breeding and research innovation at Monsanto Canada Inc.'s southern Alberta campus. Located several kilometers east of Lethbridge, the building is a utilitarian response to direct functional requirements. The new building contains mainly administrative and procedural lab functions within a pre-engineered building shell that has been adapted for this occupancy type in partnership with Nucor Building Systems Group of Brigham City, Utah.
To successfully implement the project under budget pressures, South West Design & Construction (SWDC)) managed the project in co-ordination with representatives from Monsanto's main headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri along with local engineering firm Hasegawa Engineering Ltd. Hasegawa Engineering provided overall project coordination as prime coordinating consultant to SWDC and performed all structural, mechanical, electrical and civil design development and construction administration oversight.
The project consists of large and small meeting spaces co-located beside many single private offices and meeting spaces organized along the building perimeter. A landscape of workstation areas a grouped within the building core while more meaningful high ceiling and naturally lit office support spaces occupy the north-east corner of the floor plate. The main laboratory research spaces are proximate to growth chambers and accessible processing and other storage areas.
Expansion of the campus site in future phases is planned to include an additional 490 square meters of expansion to the north of the facility as well as a stand alone warehouse facility further to the east through subsequent projects.
