York University Bergeron Centre

York University Bergeron Centre

Toronto, Ontario

The Bergeron Centre of Engineering at York University is an award winning design that reflects a cloud like design encompassing 7,000 triangular panels installed over nine different radii on plan in a mathematically derived arrangement that never repeats.

  • Designed geometry for 7,000 panels from architectural model & scan data.
  • Designed support structure for the architectural panels (primary & secondary girts)
  • Scanned dense board and window frame locations to determine deviation from nominal.
  • Used scanned data to modify girt locations and panel sizes to reflect the as-built conditions.
  • Performed layout for all substructure (primary & secondary girts).
  • Assisted in layout of the glass and panels.
