Design matters
We cultivate a culture of forward-thinking and progressive design focused on creating sustainable, equitable, and captivating workplaces as well as communities that prioritize the human experience. We believe in protecting our future through resilient and sustainable strategies, and this extends to our work in operations, maintenance, and storage facilities. We¡¯ve been working in this space for decades, and our architects and engineers have dedicated their careers to advancing innovative design within communities across North America.Planning for your future
First and foremost, the programming, site planning, and concept design for any project must be functional. Our design team spends the necessary time to understand how your departments operate. We look at how similar organizations operate, and we review the latest innovative design solutions that could be incorporated into your project. We help you determine whether reconfiguration and expansion of an existing facility is needed or if consolidation into a single, new, or renovated facility is the best solution.Designing to thrive
Our goal? To design exceptional places and facilities that improve people¡¯s lives and work environments. We do our best to address the triple bottom line of energy efficiency, healthy facilities, and respect for the environment. One key strategy? The transition from petrol/compressed natural gas powered vehicles to renewable energy sources, specifically clean electricity and hydrogen. Large scale zero emission bus (ZEB) bases are bleeding edge transformative design, and Â鶹´«Ã½ is at the forefront of this transition.Ken Anderson, Vice President, Buildings, Civic Sector Leader
