The Lorne Davies Complex (or “LDC”) was originally constructed in 1965, designed by Duncan S. McNab and his associates Harry Lee and David C. Logan, within the Erickson Massey master plan. The LDC building form is rectilinear with a flat roof, with vertical exterior columns that support the main structure, between each column line the fenestrations consists of the Kalwall translucent fibreglass sandwich panel system, aluminum-framed clerestory glazing, and clear glazed storefront assemblies these were installed in 1965 and 1973 respectively. The patterning on the translucent panel is character defining and must be maintained as part of this project. This system has significantly exceeded its maximum service life of 50 years and is now in a state of active failure. Ongoing condensation, air leakage, and water ingress have resulted in deterioration of supporting steel and concrete elements, organic growth, and concrete spalling. A Building Enclosure Condition Assessment conducted in 2013 and in 2021 concluded that the facade has reached the end of useful service life.
