1 Queen East – Curtain Wall Investigation

This high-rise office tower in downtown Toronto has a complicated series of tiered roofs and an unusually complex curtain wall system near its peak. Specialized access was required to complete test openings to identify areas of water penetration and air leakage at the upper curtain wall system. Morrison Hershfield designed a systematic roofing replacement that focused on addressing the numerous complicated details at multiple roof levels to bring the highly exposed roof back to a watertight condition.
