Working under general contractor EllisDon, Render Construction's scope on this eight-storey student residence at Western University in London, Ontario is the full brick and stone veneer envelope. The building sits on a tight, active campus footprint with almost no room to lay down materials, so the heavy lifting is in the planning: brick, block, and stone are staged and set just ahead of the crews rather than stockpiled, and the masonry is sequenced around the wider build so the veneer can climb floor by floor without bottlenecking a site that has no space to spare.
