UCN Thompson Campus is 84,400 square feet over four stories and includes 15 distance-learning classrooms, three computer labs, a 60-seat lecture theatre, and a 12-bed nursing lab with clinical simulation capabilities.
Wescan was selected by PCL, Smith Carter Architects (SCA), UCN, and MIT on this design assist project to construct both the mechanical and electrical for this new university in Thompson, Manitoba.
Through a collaborative team approach we were able to provide UCN with the systems and services required with a cost savings of over 10%. This facility is a state-of-the-art, LEED accredited building with highly efficient HVAC systems and devices. We completed ground up electrical installations for the new campus (including the classrooms, common areas, library, office space and daycare), as well as tie-ins to an existing community centre.

For the Red River College Innovation Center project Wescan BIM modeled to 95% which enabled us to prefabricate 87% of the electrical installation. This included support system, conduit packages, wall assemblies, lighting fixtures, panels and transformers.
The Transit Garage Expansion and Renovation Project (approximately $50M total construction value) was a Design Build / Design Assist for Wescan.
Wescan’s scope of work included all mechanical, electrical and structural systems.
