Great West Life focuses on continually improving the financial, physical, and mental wellness of their clients. Faced with aging infrastructure and jeopardized working environments, Great West Life launched an all-encompassing renewal project to transform their unique architectural icon, including operations, space, and working culture.
Abbott worked alongside Great West Life over a five-year period, providing multiple specialist services. Throughout the project’s life, Abbott’s team navigated the complex demands of a legacy workplace and comprehensive building upgrades to address seismic, mechanical, environmental, security, energy, and life safety systems. The project was completed over many phases in order to provide a safe work environment and minimize disruption.
Using a highly integrated project and schedule management approach, our team leveraged this renewal project’s unique complexities – delivering a facility designed for optimal working environments, reduced energy consumption, and reinforced the heritage elements.
