The acknowledgment comes off the heels of recently being awarded two Silver Awards of Excellence for Heritage and Tenant Improvement (up to $15 million) on the project earlier this month.

The project itself was a unique opportunity for Scott’s special projects team to restore the Heritage Hall to its original 1914 design, using authentic materials. As the General Contractor, our scope of work was comprehensive in restoring features of the building and renewing the overall structure. The end result is something that we are incredibly proud of as Heritage Hall now serves as a landmark location and an important community venue.

Congratulations to all of the other 2022 VRCA Gold Award Winners!

This most recent WMHD2022 Procore Technologies, a leading construction management platform, was kind enough to spotlight how Scott Construction has addressed mental health internally and how we’re taking these proactive initiatives to influence a healthier construction industry in Canada.

As a people-first company, the well-being of our team members has always been paramount. This has influenced high workplace safety standards and, most recently, proactive mental health programs.

In 2016, Scott created a mental health committee to focus on the psychological health of our team. This committee consists of members from across our organization who identify topics related to mental health in order to drive productive communication and promote the necessary training to address mental health challenges.

“We want people to feel empowered within a safe and supportive environment. To us, it’s just as important to break down walls as it is to build them up.”

In particular, substance abuse has garnered a lot of attention as the construction industry has been directly impacted by the Opioid Crisis. Facing this challenge head-on, our committee has facilitated Naloxone training for work sites and has invited guest speakers to outline what the journey to recovery entails.

As an organization, we’re just getting started. We’ve been able to make great progress in the area of mental health, but we know that there’s still a lot of work to be done.

This project has been a priority of Richmond City Council as it will not only update the current community centre with needed amenities but will also mark the City’s commitment to building strong communities that reflect the diverse culture of Richmond.

Scott was selected as the Construction Manager of the project and has been collaborating with HDR Architecture during the conceptual design phase, which has drawn influence from every corner of the community. Beyond the aesthetic design, the facility will be innovative, sustainable, and inclusive. Construction will pursue Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) Gold Certification.
