Award Winner : Exo Building System
Architectural Excellence : EXO classrooms combines a high ceiling, steel exterior and over all modern aesthetic, to make an uplifting addition to any school yard. Our clerestory windows, located at the highest point of the structure, capture light throughout the day and illuminate the center of the room.
We have created an airtight seal by using interlocking joints. With no leaks or drafts, temperature remains consistent throughout the building.
The EXO Building System can be rearranged to generate a variety of different models. EXO creates an open, bright and comfortable environment that is ideal for a classroom setting.
With modern lines and minimal styling the EXO Building System compliments almost all building styles and can improve the look of a school yard vastly when compared to more traditional portable/modular buildings.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : The EXO Building System offers fast construction. The steel tube frames inside our EXO panels fasten together quickly and easily. Labour cost represents a major portion of budget and our system has an ideal team of only 3-5 workers. When you save time in delivery and assembly you notice it on your bottom line. Hand tools and small manual lifts are all that you need to construct an EXO Building System. Also, our unique flat-pack distribution saves time and costs on your projects.

Green Building Description : The EXO™ Building System is a network of structural panels which produce energy efficient and environmentally friendly modular structures. Developed in Canada and designed to meet rigid Canadian standards, the Exo Building System™ assembles quickly without compromising energy efficiency or quality. Rigid closed-cell insulation is a high quality product that achieves greater R-values than fibreglass or polystyrene. Our effective insulation creates an internal climate that does not fluctuate with the seasons, decreasing energy consumption for lower operation costs. Our panels are wood-free and their components repel moisture, mold and pests. The windows in our steel truss open to allow natural light and natural ventilation. Our building process has little waste on an EXO site, there is no dumpster and no wasted wood. We do not require large machinery to assemble, therefore we have little impact on the surrounding environment and the need disturb water sources is all but eliminated.

Technical Innovation : Within the EXO™ Building System there is a wide range of standard panels each designed to perform a unique function, whether as a gable, a window or a door. The buildings can be customized and there is a choice of model sizes, flooring options, colour options for the exterior and more. Because of the unique interlocking assembly system, the panels can be fastened together quickly, a sealed building envelope can be constructed in as little as four days and this includes the windows and doors.
The cornerstone of this ground breaking design is the Exo Panel™. The panel has four layers. They include a steel tube frame, rigid closed cell insulation, coated steel cladding and a vapor barrier. Using top architectural materials makes this panel the most durable and energy efficient of its kind.
EXO Building System is a predictable and reliable solution. Our standardized manufacturing eliminates risky variables, such as material inconsistencies and gaps in local skill.
