is the iconic steel and glass ceiling.
Hamilton-based steel fabricator Walters
Inc. was brought onto the project for the
design, supply, fabrication, and installa-
tion of the 1,100 metric tonnes of steel
(and no less than 30,000 bolts) required
to build the steel “trees” and “branches”
within the courtyard.
Through the courtyard, the Walters team
paid homage to the history that lies
within the building, while repurposing
the space in a way that unites the past,
present and the future.
Walters Inc. is known for completing
complex, geometric architecture proj-
ects. The Walters team was also behind
the iconic glass and steel addition to the
Royal Ontario Museum—another high-
profile modern addition to an existing
historic building.
“Walters has always been involved in
complex jobs, and it seems to be the
more complex the better suited andmore
excited we get,” says Aaron Bean, PMP,
AScT, and General Manager of Feature
Walters, a division of Walters Group.
