The construction sector accounts for an estimated 12% of Canada's GDP. This sector maintains over $2.9 trillion in assets and installs, repairs or renovates $150 billion of infrastructure annually. It utilizes a wide range of workers and skillsets, including skilled trades, architects, and engineers. The industry currently faces two challenges: (1) need for approximately 320,000 new jobs over the next decade with technology-savvy workers, and (2) adoption of new tools, technologies and techniques at a time when the pace of change has outstripped the capability to integrate them. Algonquin College has created the Construction Research Centre (CRC) to assist industry in meeting these challenges. The CRC will undertake applied research projects that develop advanced, digital technology and collaboration tools for the construction industry. This will include tools that enhance decision-making and design through improved data analytics as well as next-generation collaboration tools that improve the manner in which the construction workforce interacts. These initiatives will provide new opportunities in several domains, from enhancing life-cycle analysis of buildings, to the fostering of advanced 3-D scanning and data visualization tools for improved building design and monitoring, to the customizing of wireless communications for increased efficiency on the worksite. The CRC will be headquartered in Algonquin College's recently completed, LEED Platinum, Advanced Centre for Construction Excellence (ACCE) building, which features an energy-saving green roof and over 8,000 sensors providing a steady stream of building performance data. The CRC will help empower the construction industry while preparing the workforce of tomorrow.

建筑业估计占加拿大 GDP 的 12%。该行业拥有超过 2.9 万亿美元的资产，每年安装、维修或翻新价值 1500 亿美元的基础设施。它利用了广泛的工人和技能，包括熟练技工、建筑师和工程师。 该行业目前面临两大挑战：(1) 未来十年需要约 320,000 个精通技术的新工作岗位，(2) 在变革速度超出能力范围之际采用新工具、技术和工艺来整合它们。 阿冈昆学院创建了建筑研究中心 (CRC) 来帮助工业界应对这些挑战。 CRC 将开展应用研究项目，为建筑行业开发先进的数字技术和协作工具。这将包括通过改进的数据分析来增强决策和设计的工具，以及改善建筑工人互动方式的下一代协作工具。 这些举措将在多个领域提供新的机遇，从增强建筑物的生命周期分析，到培育先进的 3D 扫描和数据可视化工具以改进建筑设计和监控，再到定制无线通信以提高建筑效率。工地。 CRC 总部将设在阿冈昆学院最近竣工的 LEED 白金级卓越建筑高级中心 (ACCE) 大楼内，该大楼设有节能绿色屋顶和 8,000 多个传感器，可提供稳定的建筑性能数据流。 CRC 将帮助增强建筑业的实力，同时培养未来的劳动力。
