Details

The architects were charged with creating an aesthetically pleasing building that included open community space and a sustainability demonstration garden. Sunterra was charged with maximizing the solar opportunity on a roof design that featured long structural spans that would exceed the abilities of most aluminium PV mounting systems.

Sunterra installed a heavy steel-tubing superstructure, mounting 170 panels within a challenging architectural design, well-integrated with the look and feel of the building.

“Whether you’re installing solar on an existing rooftop, or a new construction project, you’re often working with what you’re given, and always engineering with sound structural principles. This is a showcase public sector building, serving a public need while making a contemporary architectural statement. We’re proud to have collaborated on it.” - Chris Bunas
