In 2000, the internationally renowned National Ballet School of Canada embarked on Project Grand Jeté, an ambitious $100 million capital expansion project. The project included the construction of a 178,000 sq. ft. Jarvis Studio Block providing 12 dance studios, a resource center, and administration offices. The project also included the preservation of two important heritage buildings.
In 2003 Geo. A. Kelson started its work on the mechanical system for the new facility and by September 2005 had completed the contract. The project was highly successful and received numerous awards including a “Best of the Best” award for Project Achievement from the Toronto Construction Association.
