DP World Interior Fit Out
Vancouver, BC
In collaboration with DP World and The Vancouver Port Authority, VIA provided workplace design services for the Container Operations Facility which serves as the central hub for port operations.
VIA’s design approach focused on leaving much of the historic structure exposed where feasible, creating a robust but welcoming space for the union workers, and a modern space above, to meet the specific technical needs of the client.
Despite construction starting one year into the pandemic, and all the resultant supply-chain challenges, this complex tenant improvement finished on time. VIA supported this challenging process by expediting substitution approvals when needed and responding swiftly to queries and submittals from the builder and the client.
