St. Peter’s
Seminary
Founded in 1912 by Bishop Michael Francis Fallon, St. Peter’s Seminary is the major seminary of the Roman Catholic Diocese of London, Ontario, and represents one of the city's true landmark buildings. In 2013, RTM undertook a multi-year project to complete a comprehensive exterior restoration.
Project Scope
RTM was engaged to perform a complete exterior heritage restoration on St. Peter's Seminary. The sweeping scope of work required the deployment of our in-house masonry, carpentry, and scaffolding teams to systematically revitalize the building envelope.
The comprehensive interventions included extensive heritage masonry restoration, the meticulous replacement of the historic slate roof, and the fabrication and installation of custom copper flashings and gutters.
Notable Details
As a functioning major seminary and one of London's most prominent architectural landmarks since its founding in 1912, the project demanded a highly respectful and technically precise approach to preservation.
In addition to the extensive slate and copper roofing work, our masonry division executed a major structural and aesthetic upgrade by installing a beautiful new stone facade. Extensive, highly engineered scaffolding was erected by our in-house team to provide safe, controlled access to all elevations throughout the multi-year restoration process.
Final Result
The completed multi-year restoration successfully preserved and elevated this vital piece of London's religious and architectural heritage.
By delivering a high-performance slate and copper roof, alongside a fully restored and newly faced stone masonry envelope, RTM ensured that St. Peter’s Seminary will continue to safely and beautifully serve the Roman Catholic Diocese for generations to come.
