Phase I of the project consisted of a single-storey, three-bay structure designed to accommodate storage for six ambulances, along with a dedicated driver training pad for ambulance training. Built to meet post-disaster category requirements, the facility features a primarily steel-framed structure supported by conventional cast-in-place spread footings and a slab-on-grade floor. The exterior fa\u00e7ade is a blend of cladded masonry and metal wall panels, combining durability with a modern aesthetic.<\/p>\n

To meet LEED Silver sustainability goals, the project incorporated a range of energy-efficient systems. These include a mechanical system supported by a ground heat exchanger, geothermal heating and cooling, ventilation via a dedicated outdoor air handling unit (DOAS), and a design-build rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system. A pad-mounted transformer provides power alongside stand-by backup, and electric vehicle chargers support sustainable transportation. All mechanical systems are monitored and controlled through an integrated building automation system (BAS).<\/p>\n

The scope of work also included the installation of electrical systems, fire and life safety systems, audiovisual infrastructure, and IT and communication networks. Site development featured hard and soft landscaping and parking for 54 vehicles, aligning with both operational and environmental performance standards.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Project Gallery” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”20743,20745,20742,20741,20740,20762,20761,20758,20767,20766,20765,20753,20754,20759,20760,20757,20756,20755,20747,20750,20749,20748,20752,20751″ css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20756,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-20770","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-institutional"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/20770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjdixon.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
