On this episode of The Construction Record Podcast, digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with Siavash Mohajer, the senior director of construction at Public Services and Procurement 17³Ô¹ÏÍø about the renovation of the Centre Block of Parliament in Ottawa, a massive project to transform the structure for the 21st century while preserving its heritage aspects.
Mohajer detailed improvements to 17³Ô¹ÏÍø’s seat of democracy including extensive seismic mitigation and strengthening of IT, ventilation and other infrastructure.
He also spoke to the new underground vistors reception area, a new addition which is not only a more welcoming way for tourists and other visitors to see Parliament but also serves as a substantial security upgrade.
