Ritestart Limited served as General Contractor for the complete renovation of the Biochemistry Lab (E303 / Sustainability Lab) at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus in Hamilton, Ontario.
The project involved the removal and replacement of existing laboratory equipment, casework, finishes, windows, and associated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Scope included selective demolition, new lab casework and epoxy resin countertops, barrier-free student islands, height-adjustable fume hoods, sinks and specialty fixtures, flooring, acoustic ceilings, wall finishes, and mechanical upgrades including roof-mounted exhaust fans, ductwork, and related life-safety improvements.
Work was carried out within an occupied post-secondary facility, requiring careful phasing, after-hours noisy and disruptive activities, dust and debris control, just-in-time deliveries, and continuous coordination with college operations to avoid impact on classes and campus use. Ritestart managed all trades, scheduling, procurement, quality control, site safety, and logistics while maintaining secure access and protecting adjacent spaces.
