Armstrong Industrial

Renovation, a loading bay addition and a tenant fit-up for Habitat for Humanity's ReStore, keeping as much of the original building as possible.

Sudbury, Ontario Completed 2022–2024

Renovated building in dark ribbed metal cladding with a new glazed entrance and overhead loading door

We renewed the building while keeping as much of the original as possible: new roof and wall cladding, more windows and a revised interior layout. New work added a front entrance, a loading bay addition, an exterior loading ramp with underpinned foundations, and a garbage enclosure.

The renovation was planned before a tenant was known. When Habitat for Humanity leased the space for its ReStore, we added the interior fit-up.
