SixtyEight at Scotia Plaza

A fully electric kitchen ventilation solution featuring RecoAir by Halton for a high‑rise corporate foodservice environment

Toronto, Ontario (Canada)

SixtyEight at Scotia Plaza is a contemporary corporate event venue in downtown Toronto, designed for executive gatherings, receptions, and private functions. The venue’s corporate foodservice facility, which supports banquet and catering services, required a ventilation system capable of handling all‑electric cooking, high‑volume service demands, and integration within a high-class office tower.

Designing a Ventilation System for Corporate Catering in a Space‑Constrained Tower

The foodservice facility needed a ventilation system that could reliably support:

  • All‑electric cooking equipment, generating consistent heat and vapour loads.
  • Banquet and catering service cycles, requiring dependable capture and containment.
  • Odour and effluent control appropriate for a premium corporate event venue.
  • Thermal stability to maintain staff comfort and equipment reliability.
  • High‑rise building constraints, including limited ducting options and tight mechanical spaces.

The solution needed to be efficient, quiet, and seamlessly integrated with existing building systems.

Integrated KVE and RecoAir Ventilation Solution for Corporate Catering

Halton engineered a complete ventilation package designed for corporate foodservice operations:

  • Halton KVE Exhaust Hoods – High‑efficiency capture and containment for electric cooking lines, optimized for banquet and catering workflows.
  • Reco-Air by Halton – Advanced pollution control for smoke, particulate, and odour mitigation, ideal for high‑rise applications where direct ducting to atmosphere is limited.
  • Cooling Coil in Return Air Stream – Enhanced thermal management to offset heat from electric equipment and maintain comfortable working conditions during peak service periods.

Together, these technologies deliver a low‑maintenance, energy‑efficient system that supports SixtyEight’s corporate event program while aligning with Scotia Plaza’s sustainability objectives.
