Herold Industrial Park — DAO | Algorithmic & Timber Architecture

Herold Industrial Park
Sudbury, Ontario

A combination of existing building renovation and new build, the design parameters of this site were heavily constrained by its proximity to two major highways and flood-plain Conservation requirements. The existing building was refurbished with new exterior cladding and roofing, while the new build was designed as a mass timber structure on the heels of its success at sister-project Cambrian Heights Industrial.

Added complexity was introduced with a tenant fit-up in parallel with interior base building construction. The intent for user flexibility at the initial stages of design were exercised with an expansion of the original mezzanine level and a newly defined front entrance structure. Throughout, the mass timber remains a prominent feature and highlights the shift to aesthetic industrial design.
