DMD Weathering Steel
Prince George, BC
2018
The College of New Caledonia Technical Education Centre is a new facility in Prince George, BC designed by the Office of McFarlane Biggar Architects + Designers (OMB). The 76,300 sqft structure was built using a custom fabricated and patinated weathering steel facade system by Dissimilar Metal Design. Known for its durability and environmentally friendly low maintenance properties, the facade serves as a material respectful to the beautiful and sensitive environment of British Columbia.
The sustainability of the weathering steel material assisted the project team to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standard with a net zero increase in energy consumption. The project was completed in late 2018.
