The Vickers All Ranks Dining Facility is the 2nd iteration of a near-identical project, whereby each building intends to serve a designated sector of the Canadian Forces of Base Borden. The 1-storey facility (plus basement and mechanical mezzanine) uses certified wood glulam beams and a high-efficiency building envelope, and is registering to achieve LEED Silver certification. LEED stratgies include an aggressive construction waste management strategy, increased energy and water efficiencies, and various site strategies which reduce heat island effect (energystar roof) and promote walking or cycling in lieu of driving. Indoor Environmental Quality is a priority through the selection of materials and methods which reduce potentially harmful toxins, as well as increased amount of daylight and views for those working in the facility.(summary imported from CAGBC database. remove this message if edited) READ MORE
