Stuart Olson Dominion Chosen as Construction Manager for Calgary's $150 Million New Central Library

CALGARY, Nov. 5, 2013 /CNW/ - The Churchill Corporation (TSX: CUQ, CUQ.DB) ("Churchill" or the "Corporation") today announced that Stuart Olson Dominion Construction Ltd. ("Stuart Olson Dominion"), Churchill's General Contracting segment, has been selected as the construction manager for the $150 million New Central Library in downtown Calgary.

The library will be an iconic landmark in revitalizing the East Village neighbourhood and will involve a variety of technical complexities. The Light Rail Transit (LRT) line passes through the building site, requiring that an encapsulation structure be built around the active LRT before construction of the main building can begin. The library building will then sit above this structure with the LRT remaining fully operational throughout each building phase. Construction of the encapsulation structure is scheduled to start in April 2014 with the main building starting construction in September 2015 and opening to the public in 2018.

"We look forward to building this important project on behalf of the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation," said David LeMay, Churchill President and CEO.  "The new library will be a multi-faceted family destination and gathering place that supports the entire Calgary community."
