Summary

This downtown office is the first LEED© - Commercial Interiors Gold certified project in Canada. An open space plan integrates architectural, engineering, construction, and interior design teams, which encourages discussion across disciplines. The elimination of enclosed, private offices provides equal access to exterior views and daylight for all employees.

Omicrom diverted 73% of construction waste from landfills during the building process. Sixty-one percent of building materials are from recycled sources, including rubber flooring made of recycled car tires, fiberglass insulation from recycled glass bottles, and agrifiber board made from agriculture waste.
