Located in the geographical centre of Canada at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights’ iconic architectural forms resulted in significant structural complexity including large column free spaces, unconventional load paths, long cantilevers, and highly stressed connection points between steel forms and concrete walls, all necessitating the use of structural steel. Structural steel was used to overcome numerous design and construction challenges for the architecturally complex museum superstructure.
