Events & Hospitality · Downtown Winnipeg, MB
Winnipeg Convention Centre
Access management for a major event venue where the population of the building changes completely from one week to the next.
The challenge
What this building demands
A convention centre reconfigures itself constantly. Exhibitors, contractors, caterers, promoters and thousands of attendees move through the building for an event and are gone by the following week, replaced by an entirely different group with entirely different access needs.
That churn sits on top of permanent requirements: back-of-house and kitchen security, office and administrative areas, storage for high-value AV equipment, and egress hardware on assembly-occupancy doors that has to be beyond question every single day.
Scope of work
- Exit device, closer and egress hardware service on assembly-occupancy openings
- Back-of-house, storage and administrative area access management
- Key system administration for permanent staff, contractors and event vendors
- Hardware repair scheduled between events and around load-in windows
The outcome
Event-driven access handled as a routine operating rhythm rather than a recurring scramble, with life-safety hardware maintained to the standard an assembly occupancy demands.
