Tara Plett has over 20 years of experience in the construction industry working on diverse project types, including institutional facilities, transit, and heritage restoration, with a marked focus on medical research. Notable projects are the Public Health Ontario Laboratory and Ontario Institute of Cancer Research in Toronto, and Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto.
