PROJECT NOTES: “The 697-bed, $35 million student residence at the University of Regina will double the current capacity and increase the sense of community on campus,” University President David Barnard said. Construction of the residence will be finished in time for the 2004 fall semester and for use by the athletes during the 2005 Canada Summer Games.
The five-story north-south wings, and four-story east-west wings will flank the building’s two towers. The buildings will be fully connected and complete the campus interior pedestrian street between the northeast corner of the Library and to the northeast corner of the Education Building. The building’s front curves are to reflect the shape and landscaping of the Academic Green. The two towers, with their distinctive roofs, will form a central focal point to the University and provide an exciting ‘signature.’
This building is a masonry cavity wall structure with areas of glass curtain walls. The Roxul Mineral Wool Fibre Insulation was selected as the insulation for both situations. Specifically
engineered for this application, Cavity Rock’s low moisture absorption enables it to maintain R-value and its mineral fibre structure allows for effective drainage of water, which penetrates the exterior wall.
The product is compatible with all air/vapour systems, adhesives and wall ties. The cavity wall structure consists of the steel studs, drywall, Bakor Blueskin air barrier, Roxul Cavity Rock Fibre Insulation and the masonry facing.
