Modular Buildings - Canada Winter Games Housing

ATCO Structures & Logistics’ excellence in combining stick-built construction with factory-built modular units was one of the key attributes that won the company the contract to build a three story, 141 module complex for the Canada Winter Games.
 

This complex was designed to serve two purposes – to provide temporary, safe, comfortable housing for 3,500 athletes participating in the 2007 Canada Winter Games, and to provide permanent housing to address a shortage of accommodations for students at Yukon College and seniors in the area.

Key features of the facility included construction techniques to eliminate noise between suites, triple pane windows to reduce heat loss and manage energy costs and a unique exterior finish that reflected the client’s architectural vision.
 

The complex was designed and produced to address tight production timelines and local labour shortages. The modules were manufactured off-site at ATCO’s Calgary manufacturing plant and shipped to Whitehorse for final assembly.
