180-Person Accommodation Complex
The Department of National Defence issued a public tender looking for a company to supply a 180-person accommodation complex within two months. 3twenty took it on.
Project Summary
The Canadian Forces Base located in Cold Lake, AB, referred to as 4 Wing Cold Lake, is the busiest fighter base in Canada. It provides general purpose, multi-role, combat capable forces in support of the Royal Canadian Air Force’s domestic and international roles. 4 Wing hosts an international annual air combat exercise called Maple Flag. This event attracts hundreds of people to 4 Wing, which struggled to accommodate and house these visitors.
Defence Construction Canada published a tender requesting the construction of a facility capable of housing as close to 180 beds as possible for a specified budget. 3twenty responded to the tender with an innovative modular design that gave us the competitive edge for this project.
