Burlington, Ontario.  Canada Centre for Inland Waters.  Library
Renovation. 
Project No.  R.061475.001

CCIW Library Renovation in Burlington:
Canada Centre for Inland Waters (CCIW) currently operates
various library locations across the Province of Ontario.  All
existing locations are being consolidated into one library and
this enlarged collection of existing content is to be house in
the existing library space located on the 2nd floor of the CCIW
building in Burlington.
The existing 3,400sq feet (sf) library cannot provide adequate
housing for all the anticipated content to be stored; as a
result the library renovation will require the installation of
high density mobile shelving (HDMS) and minor layout
reconfiguration.  There will need to be mechanical and
electrical upgrades to bring the space up to code and to service
the renovated spaces better.
The major Mechanical and Electrical upgrades include:  new
sprinkler systems, new AHU,
Integration of new services into existing building control as
well as improvements to overall lighting within the renovated
spaces.
