The University of British Columbia is suing three companies—Nick Milkovich Architects Inc, Equilibrium Consulting Inc, and Senaltek Ltd—for breach of contract and negligence related to reconstruction work on the Museum of Anthropology. CBC reports that UBC hired Nick Milkovich Architects Inc in 2017 as the prime consultant for a $40M renewal project of the museum’s Great Hall, which included seismic upgrades. Filed in the BC Supreme Court, UBC’s claim alleges that grout seepage damaged the Great Hall due to the defendants’ “errors, omissions, negligence, fault and breaches of contracts.” UBC spokesperson Erik Rolfsen added that all construction-related issues in the lawsuit have since been resolved. CBC notes that these allegations have not yet been tested in court.
