Expanding higher education facilities for evolving campuses

GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE, WATERFRONT CAMPUS

George Brown College experienced growth and the need to expand its properties with a fourth campus dedicated to health science.

The new Waterfront Health Sciences Campus is an integrated vertical campus which consolidates George Brown’s schools of Dental Health, Health and Wellness, Health Services Management and Nursing.
The project included the campus development and a parking facility, as well as a community recreation facility that will be shared between the college and City of Toronto.
RLB was retained by Waterfront Toronto to assist in cost control and cost separation consulting. The pre-construction stage services included cost planning, estimating, milestone cost estimating and reporting, elemental and trade cost analysis, risk analysis, value engineering, tender stage, bid review and analysis.
During the construction phase, the RLB team provided cost control, change order reviews, contemplated change reviews, and progress payment reviews.
Collectively, this project demonstrates RLB’s experience providing all of the services required while working collaboratively with clients, designers and other consultants throughout all stages of delivery.
