Location: Mississauga, ON

Project Completion: July 2023

Toronto Pearson Airport has welcomed its first Osmow's location at the domestic area of Terminal 1. Opening of this popular chain restaurant is part of the airport's commitment plan to provide exceptional services to all travellers.

As a prime consultant, DEXD was tasked to transform the store into a desired place for customers to enjoy Mediterranean cuisine in a convenient manner. Our team ensured a smooth project delivery within a tight schedule by engaging previously established relationships with the client team, the airport authority, and the general contractor, as well as employing knowledge of airport operation structure and experience in working with the GTAA.

DEXD team provided complete architectural services, including the preparation of Facility Permit Applications for the airport. Throughout the design phase, that started in November 2022, we worked collaboratively with the other consultants to ensure detail coordination. During the implementation phase, completed in July 2023, we supported the construction team by reviewing shop drawings and submittals, as well as responding to RFIs, while keeping the priority of delivering the project within cost and schedule goals.

CIBC Fusion Hub Office Renovation is a project designed with creative thinking around customer-centric approach.

The project was completed in January 2023, and its goal was to create a dedicated office for Fusion Group within the CIBC Commerce Court Building through minor renovations and rearrangements.

To enhance the experience of the office, we designed a lighting solution with LED feature around the footprint of Fusion Group that uses color coding to identify when the team is working on a specific project.

As a prime consultant, DEXD worked alongside mechanical, electrical, and code teams from the design stage to construction completion. DEXD team's experience of working with large organizations for major renovation projects was an asset, as we played the role of facilitator in the meetings with Prodigy, project managers, BGIC, and CIBC team to make sure the decision-making process will not affect the overall schedule of the project.
