Mount Sinai Hospital Lift
The weekend of October 22nd – October 24th, 2010 was the hub of activity in Toronto’s downtown core at Mount Sinai Hospital. Geo. A. Kelson Company hoisted 3 Air Handling units, 4 Exhaust/Return Fans, 2 Coils, 2 Cooling Towers, 8 Exhaust Fans, 2 Vent Hoods, and 3 Diesel Exhaust stacks. All equipment was hoisted from the southbound lanes of University Ave. adjacent to 600 University Ave. (Mt. Sinai Hospital) to the Mechanical room, Generator room, both located on the 19th floor and to the roof of Mt. Sinai Hospital. This lift required a great deal of preplanning, co-ordination and attention to detail and was carried out without a hitch.
Thank you to everyone for making this lift a success.

Successful Lift at Lakeridge Hospital
Thank you email sent to Geo. A. Kelson Company:
"In construction it is very easy to criticize when the contractors have done something wrong but not commend them when they have done something right. In saying that, I’d like to take the time to commend Kelson on a job well done hoisting the roof top units onto the A-wing roof. It was very well thought out and organized which contributed to NO issues. I never received one complaint. In fact James Ramsey of security was very impressed to how smooth it ran especially due to the size of the crane and the area that was being impacted I know some long hours were put in by Kelson forces especially Steve O’Brien who was involved in setting the crane up supervising the lift and was here until the early hours on Wednesday morning taking it down to make it successful and I’d like to thank them".

Kelson project wins prestigious award for Telus Tower
Telus Tower and RBC Centre both pick up NAIOP REX awards!
A round of applause goes out to Cadillac Fairview, RBC Financial Group and RBC Dexia on receiving the "Green Award of the Year" for the RBC Centre, and Menkes and Telus on receiving the "Best Office Development" for the Telus Tower at 25 York. Both projects were singled out by NAIOP for their excellence at the 9th annual NAIOP REX Awards. Our warmest congratulations for having the foresight and vision to pursue innovation and creativity in office building design, resulting in two of the most significant office buildings built in Toronto in the last forty years.
Sweeny Sterling Finlayson & Co Architects is proud to have made a major contribution to both of these projects.
As published in the Globe and Mail article "Toronto buildings scoop up REX awards" originally posted on Friday, March 5, 2010: "Toronto's 43-storey RBC Centre took the green award of the year. The building's south and west-facing sides reveal sleek horizontal sunshades attached to the exterior glass facade, part of a state-of-the-art daylight harvesting system." "Best office development: The 30-storey glass Telus tower, at 25 York St., features 11-foot, floor-to-ceiling glass windows that offer better access to natural light, and individual workstation airflow and temperature controls."
