The blending of different materials used on Victoria School and the new building was also unique. "The historic school consists of wood construction and load-bearing brick and stone walls. The new structure is built with today's building materials to achieve a modern, cost-effective, state-of-the-art green building," says structural consultant Domenic Fagotto, principal at Read Jones Christoffersen Ltd. "The challenges of the programming included matching 90/ the existing floor levels of the Victoria School with the exterior grades around the new building. These criteria, along with a tight budget, led to the decision to have different types of construction for the new building in order to provide a cost-effective solution." Another cost-saving measure was the use of hollowcore slab supported on structural steel construction for the upper floors. From the foundations to the ground floor level, reinforced concrete construction was used allowing the existing grades to match the contours of the structure. photos: David Whittaker april 2013 Epic Metal Works.indd 1 p88-93Goodes_Fortius.indd 90 "The expansion of Goodes Hall allows QSB to enhance and expand existing programs, accommodate new graduate programs, foster research excellence, and recruit the faculty needed to support growth," says David Saunders, Dean at QSB.
