Roche Canada - MARANT Construction Limited

Roche Canada develops innovative medicines and diagnostic tests, particularly in fields such as oncology, immunology, and neuroscience. They are known for their commitment to enhancing patient care by improving healthcare access and addressing disparities in healthcare.

Providing Construction Management and General Contracting Services, MARANT was retained to renovate the entire building to meet Roche’s new workplace and environmental standards. Simultaneously the building owner (GWL) underwent building upgrades to a LEED EB level.

Working from a completely demolished interior, the sustainable workplace improvements included: a new full service 20,000 sf cafeteria, fitness centre complete with showers and lockers, a garden-level multi-purpose area, and three new atrium staircases. The building environmental standards called for a new electrical and HVAC system with rooftop ammonia chillers, which required substantial structural reinforcing. A new front entry and turnstile security feature was installed, as well as washrooms, parking, patio, and other landscaping features.

Location: 7070 Mississauga Road, Mississauga, ON
Size: 245,000 sf
Prime Consultant: Perkins + Will
Certifications: LEED EB Certification

This was a very challenging project. The schedule was very aggressive and the scope increased by 30% and MARANT’s team still delivered the project on time and expertly. Their team was so effective that we subsequently recommended them to another client.
