Glenbow Museum

Located in downtown Calgary, Glenbow Museum is situated right across from the historic Fairmont Palliser Hotel. The gallery is dedicated to providing a place where ideas, knowledge, opinions, and experiences can flow, as well as showcasing an exceptional collection of art and historical objects that represent the people, events, and ideas that shaped the region. The revitalization of this museum focuses on accessibility, sustainability, and ultimately expanding its role in the community. It will allow for a more diverse audience to experience its inspiring exhibits and share in the flow of knowledge and ideas.

LMDG is proud to play a specialized role on this project – conducting a dispersion analysis. This analysis is achieved with Computation Fluid Dynamic (CFD) modelling, which uses Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) software. This type of fire modelling helps evaluate the predicted outcome should a fire occur and how it would affect its surroundings, including people and equipment. This modelling provides information such as the path that smoke would likely travel, as well as heat intensity at various distances.
