2014 CDBI Design-Build Award of Excellence - 1st Place - Glacier Skywalk

This year’s winner, the Glacier Skywalk in Jasper National Park, consists of a 400-metre walkway overlooking the Sunwapta Valley. The glass-floored viewing platform provides visitors with incredible gravity-defying views of the mountain valley below, as the design integrates seamlessly with the wilderness around it. Also included in the project is a walkway along the cliffs, and a receiving area with a visitor kiosk.
The project team was led by PCL Construction Management Inc., prime structural consultant Read Jones Christofferson, and architects Sturgess Architecture. The project owner, Brewster Inc., indicated the need for a dynamic and beautiful solution, and was very pleased with the project, its timely delivery, and controlled cost, completed for slightly more than $18 million.
