18-035 - RFT - Macdonald Block Complex - Disentanglement Project

The site:
The Queen’s Park Complex consists of a number of heritage designated buildings linked together by numerous building services. The Whitney Block was constructed starting in the early 1900s and the Whitney Garage and Macdonald Block Complex we built in the late 1960s. The Whitney Garage is located immediately south of the Whitney Block, underneath a public park. The garage is connected to both the Whitney Block, via an underground tunnel, and the Macdonald Block Complex (four stone clad towers of varying heights that stand on a two story podium). The Whitney Garage is currently considered by the Ontario Building Code as part of the Macdonald Block Complex.
 
The work:
The contractor must provide all necessary labour, materials, equipment and services to disentangle the Macdonald Block Complex from the surrounding precinct.
