Cobequid Community Health Centre Facility

The building is a two-storey structure with an additional partial basement and a mechanical penthouse. The second floor is framed using a two-way, cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab while the main roof structure is constructed of a steel deck supported on open web steel joists and a structural steel frame.

The exterior cladding on the building consists of a combination of glass curtainwall, metal siding and non-load bearing, site cast, tilt-up concrete panels. The front of the building is elegantly curved with an extensive canopy sweeping around the building. An eighty-foot high structural steel tower is located at the rear of the building to enable exhaust stacks from boilers and generators to rise high above the building, ensuring the exhaust does not re-enter the building through the air intake louvers.
