Located on the harbour of downtown Halifax, this LEED Platinum project retains and converts a decommissioned power generating plant into corporate headquarters for the Province’s electrical utility.

A new five-storey atrium retains the building’s original steel structure, providing a memory of it’s original function, and connects the neighbourhood to the waterfront, offering spectacular views of the water. This public space, with a central stair and glass backed elevators, in conjunction with an indoor street, promotes casual interaction amongst the facility’s more than 500 employees. Along the roof of the galleria, skylights set in the base of former chimney stacks provide abundant natural light. Glazed inter-floor stairs on the building perimeter and exterior balconies at the atrium keep users in contact with the harbour. Designed as an open work environment, the offices enjoy over 75% direct access to natural daylight.

A unique and innovative example of adaptive renewal, WZMH’s design involves the insertion of seven floor assemblies into the existing steel structure. The original exterior concrete cladding, saw-cut to provide window openings, is wrapped in a new energy-efficient envelope.
