Villa Casino

The project has three main areas:

The Casino
The Convention Centre
Renovation to the existing hotel tower

Casino:

The drywallers were the dominant trade in the casino during January and installed a significant amount of ceiling and bulkhead framing and drywall and taping. The large centre vault and smaller vaults at level 183 were drywalled. The level 163 ceilings were substantially framed with drywall board progressing. Painters proceeded on all areas open to them including the vaulted ceilings above the upper gaming floor. The tiling crews completed washroom floors and walls. The millworkers have started onsite and are working at the centre vault and at the upper smoking area. The access floor trade is now on site and is laying out at the upper casino floor. Work continues at the ceiling in the Hotel Atrium lobby and below the escalator crew has started to set up the escalator #3. The west side of the casino, the show bar, staff and administration areas are framed with mechanical and electrical rough-ins proceeding. The envelope glass is all installed with the exception of a few selected pieces and at two frames at the northwest corner. The stucco crew started on the exterior east casino wall.  

Convention Centre:  

The roofing membrane was completed overtop of the future restaurant and kitchen areas and to the high level roof overtop of the ballroom. Sheet metal and cast iron piping continued in the convention centre. 

Hotel:

Work continues at the hotel mezzanine with raising pipes and electrical rough-in. The area is drywalled and taping is started.  

Off-site work:

Civil work was near completion and the ductbanks for permanent power were also near complete. Hydro will be onsite in early February to inspect and then permanent power can be ordered.
