ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Noor Cultural Centre is the culmination of a ten year dream for Hassanali and Noorbanu  Lakhani.

The Building they selected was the former Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre.  The   Lakhani’s recognized that the building was an architectural landmark and place of spiritual quality.  Our contract included introduction of a new Mechanical and Electrical system and preservation of the existing concrete and wood structure.  A new Prayer Room, Ablution Rooms, wheelchair accessible washroom, resource centre, barrier free ramp and Elevator were all constructed with minimal intervention to the original design and fabric.  This   project was not a  designated  LEED project but it did achieve the sustainable design principles.
