Ādisōke Construction Update – April 5, 2024
We are happy to report that several sections of the feature stairs have been installed since our last update! Also inside, the mechanical room on the fifth floor has been completed, and equipment moved in. Over the last month, there was ongoing mechanical, electrical, plumbing and masonry work on parking levels 1 and 2.
Outside, the installation of façade steel continued to progress, as well as glazing and exterior sheathing. The placement of timber roof beams is ongoing with the first atrium beam installed in late March. The wooden roof paneling is getting close to completion as well!
Finally, last week, we announced the Indigenous Public Artists who will have their art displayed at Ādisōke, so check out our website in case you missed it.

Construction progress update
This winter, all columns supporting the facility were completed, which is an exciting milestone! A lot of inside structural work within the mezzanines have begun and some are already complete.
Outside, there has been a lot of progress on the iconic waved roof, and work is ongoing on the façade of the building. Check out some of the aerial photographs to see the incredible progress!
Lots of scaffolding going up on the south side, so hopefully we see some soon.Looking forward to seeing some stone.
