BusShelters.ca has shipped to University of Toronto, McGill, McMaster, Western, Waterloo, Queen's, UBC, SFU, UVic, Université de Montréal, Université Laval, Concordia, Dalhousie, Memorial, and a long list of K-12 boards including TDSB, Peel DSB, YRDSB, OCDSB, CSSDM, EMSB, Vancouver SD 39. School-board work tends to be small batches (4–12 shelters per project) tied to bell-time arrival peaks; university work is larger (20–60 shelters across a multi-year master plan).
The shelter spec for campuses leans toward AODA / CSA B651-18 compliance by default (most institutions exceed minimum compliance), anti-vandal polycarbonate glazing rather than tempered glass for student-traffic zones, brand-matched powder-coat colours pulled from the institution's visual-identity guide, and route-map / shuttle-schedule clip frames sized to the campus map standard. Lighting is specified for safety-after-dark coverage at 150–200 lux at the bench, often integrated with the campus emergency-call system.
Installation is scheduled for the May–August window when student traffic is low; we co-ordinate with campus facilities, locate-clearance, and the institution's permitting officer. Insurance and certificates of insurance are issued naming the board or institution as additional insured per the standard education-sector contract template.
Pricing, scheduling, and special programmes
School-board projects typically run $8,500–$15,000 per shelter installed depending on AODA option set and brand-finish complexity; university projects average $11,000–$22,000 because of the higher architectural-grade specification and integrated lighting/wayfinding. We offer a K-12 stocking-package programme for boards that buy 8+ shelters per year — pre-staged inventory in Brantford, fixed pricing for the school year, and same-week shipping during summer-install windows. For universities running multi-year master plans, we hold fixed unit pricing for 24 months so your facilities team can budget across fiscal years without cost-escalation surprises. Co-op programmes with engineering and architecture students are available — we've hosted student site visits and provided design-charrette support at McMaster, Waterloo, and Carleton in past years.
