MTE's Involvement
MTE was honoured to support the realization of Indigenous House by providing civil engineering services for the site’s redevelopment. Our team was responsible for delivering detailed grading, servicing, and stormwater management designs required for Site Plan Approval and Building Permit.
The site, formerly a parking lot serving nearby university buildings, was transformed into a culturally significant and environmentally integrated space. In addition to the building itself, the design included underground servicing infrastructure, accessible parking, gardens, and landscaping that supported ecological function and aesthetic harmony with the natural surroundings.
Located at the top of a sloped ravine, the site posed unique design challenges related to grading and stormwater control. Our team developed solutions that protected the integrity of the ravine while maximizing the views and experiential value of the building’s upper-level gathering spaces.
MTE also supported the project through contract administration and inspection services for all civil works during construction.
