Highlights

Caledon Industrial Park’s Buildings B and C add up to a total of 573,083-square-feet. They accompany Building A, completed as part of Phase One of the project.

The challenge was a race against time: the design and construction of the facility needed to be complete in six months to set the machinery in place. There was only one rough sketch that architects had to transform into a multi-purpose facility.
