Founding
[ edit ]
In 1951, EllisDon was launched by brothers Don and David Ellis Smith as a local contractor in London, Ontario .
[ edit ]
Between 1956 and 1968, EllisDon computerized its accounting and cost control systems, and operated a purchased tower crane – the first construction company in Canada to do both.[2] [3]
Between 1974 and 1976, the company expanded, establishing operations in Edmonton , Alberta and in Saudi Arabia .[2] [4] [5] [6]
Once EllisDon was awarded the Construction Management Contract for the Metro Toronto Convention Centre project in 1982, it moved on to build the SkyDome (renamed Rogers Centre in 2005).[7] [8] [1]
[ edit ]
In 1990, EllisDon established the construction industry's first freestanding Research and Development Department.[2] Latvia and Lithuania following the removal of the Iron Curtain in the USSR.[9] [10] Malaysia .[2]
In 1996, Don Smith's son, Geoff Smith – who joined the company as a full-time employee in 1982 – became EllisDon's president and CEO.[11]
[ edit ]
In 2004, EllisDon participated in a new hospital funding model, a public-private partnership (PPP) with the $450 million William Osler Health Centre in Brampton, Ontario.[9]
EllisDon delivered Toronto's MaRS (Medical and Related Services) Convergence Centre (Building B) in 2005.[12]
In 2008, EllisDon completed construction and installation work in the Dubai Waterfront , the largest waterfront development of its kind in the world.[13]
In 2010, EllisDon completed Winnipeg International Airport Terminal Building, Canada's first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified airport terminal.[14]
In June 2016, EllisDon launched The Carbon Impact Initiative Action Plan[15] low-carbon economy .[16] [17] [18]
In March 2018, EllisDon acquired the interests of joint venture partner Carillion (in liquidation in the UK) in four Ontario hospital projects, becoming the sole service provider at Royal Ottawa Hospital , Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial Hospital , Brampton Civic Hospital and Sault Area Hospital .[19]
In June 2023, Geoff Smith was succeeded as President and CEO by Kieran Hawe, previously COO. [20]
