CEDA Edmonton Campus


Edmonton, AB


The CEDA Edmonton campus project included renovations of an administration building and a separate shop/warehouse facility.  The 50-year-old warehouse/shop required extensive structural upgrades, building envelope replacement and complete replacement of the mechanical and HVAC units.

The building envelope was replaced during the summer months and enclosed prior to completing and commissioning the new mechanical and HVAC units.  The owner’s employees were temporary relocated, and construction was phased to allow continuous operations for the Campus.

Public Works Facility


Fort Saskatchewan, AB


The 15,000 sq. ft. shop was comprised of 7 bays to accommodate various uses including large and small equipment repair, mechanics, welding and equipment washing. To integrate into the existing building’s structure a conventional steel/pre-engineered hybrid structure was utilized.

Through continuous communication during the course of construction, the existing municipal maintenance building onsite was able to maintain full operation.

Johnston Builders submission provided the best value and it became apparent that they actually listened to what we were trying to achieve in the new facility. Johnston Builders was not the “cheapest” proposal received but provided the best value for today and into the future.
