The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) is Canada’s first national museum built in 47 years. Such a space required inspiring aesthetics to match the prestigious nature of the facility. Within the 260,000 sq. ft. museum, high ceilings, large glass walls, and the unique layout required much forethought into the diffuser and grille integration. It was imperative that these visible HVAC products did not distract the visitors from the exhibits or general ambiance of the museum, while meeting the visual, comfort, and LEED Silver Certification requirements. The complex curves of the exterior glass posed the largest design challenge. Custom mitred linear bar grilles were selected to suit the unique curvature of the outside walls. In this aesthetic setting, custom angle tolerances were tight, and each mitre was meticulously measured by hand to ensure installation conditions were met.
