Brenda McCabe

Background

Professor Brenda McCabe conducts her research in the field, collecting data to develop analysis tools to make the construction site and construction process safer for workers and site visitors. Her work has involved providing consultation to the Toronto Airport Authority on the major renovations recently made to Pearson International Airport and collaborating with the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario to assess the impact of highway construction on traffic. A variety of construction firms apply her research findings to improve the safety and efficiency of their construction processes.

Professor McCabe is also the director of the Building Tall Research Centre (BTRC), a newly developed partnership between academia, industry and government that will act in an advisory capacity to the profession. The express mission of BTRC is to cluster, highlight, and promote research related to tall buildings from multidisciplinary technical perspectives. These areas include, but are not limited to, building science, construction, environment, geomechanics, materials, resilience, structures, sustainability, and water resources.
