About the Project
The new student residence at the University of Regina consists
of two towers, each a twelve storey building. The residence accommodates
691 student bedrooms, 140 of which are dormitory style while the
remaining 551 are apartment style bedrooms. The buildings also
house administration facilities, common areas, study areas, meeting
rooms, and other support facilities.

Humboldt Electric's Work
This project demanded a lot of attention to detail, with two twelve
storey buildings requiring in-slab conduit through the poured
concrete construction. Proper planning of the electrical work
on this job was a key factor. A great deal of planning was also
needed to wire both buildings with telephone, TV cable, and high
speed Internet fiber. To cap it all off we installed a lightning
protection system on the roof.
