MTE's Involvement
MTE was proud to provide structural engineering services for the new London Children’s Museum. The project consisted of the renovation and fit-up of a portion of Level 4 of the existing building at 100 Kellogg’s Lane which was formerly occupied by Kellogg’s to accommodate the relocation of the London Children’s Museum.
Our Structural team provided the structural design for the elevated platforms to accommodate the branching out exhibits and bridges. This included reinforcing the existing building to accommodate new exterior wall openings and rooftop mechanical equipment.
Additionally, new mezzanine floor extensions were created, and modifications were made to the existing mezzanine to accommodate a new elevator and stairwells. The existing mezzanine, formerly the “Mill & Oven Platform” for the Kellogg Company, now serves as office and administration spaces. We also designed raised floor framing for exhibits and new elevator access, as well as modifications to the existing concrete slabs to create a sloped floor for the museum’s “Stream” exhibit.
Since the 1980s, MTE has been involved with 100 Kellog Lane. In 1984, MTE completed renovations and an expansion for Kellogg’s Canada’s “Mini-Wheat Expansion” project, which now houses the Wonder Lab and Branching Out exhibits. Additionally, throughout the early 1980s, we were involved in a range of structural renovation projects across various buildings for Kellogg’s Canada.
