ATCO Structures & Logistics received an Honourable Mention from the Modular Building Institute for the design, manufacture and installation of the Fjardaal Team Village, a 100-person pioneer camp and a 1,500 person construction camp in Reydarjordur, Eastern Iceland.
ASL designed the buildings for the extreme conditions – including cold temperatures and strong wind chill. Wind shelters were built at each building entrance, and common areas were built with large windows to allow for as much natural light as possible.
Dormitories were designed with a common area which included a kitchenette and small meeting room. The buildings were grouped in pods of eight, with each pod containing a recreation area.
Bedrooms were designed with peak acoustical performance and extensive insulation ensuring energy efficiency. All outside lights are photo-sensitive and only activate during periods of darkness.
