McClelland Lake Lodge

Award Winner : Civeo Canada Limited Partnership
Architectural Excellence : The 514,315 sq. ft. McClelland Lake Lodge is located approximately 90 km north of Fort McMurray, Alberta and operates as an open lodge providing workforce accommodations in this remote region. The lodge features 1,997 superior (125 sq. ft.) and deluxe (226 sq. ft.) guest rooms with private washrooms. The dorms (17 109-unit dorms and 2 72-unit dorms) are in 3 stories and are connected to the core complex with common areas by arctic corridors (14 units). The common areas include (4 unit) lobby, (7 unit) shift entrance, (7 unit) dry lounge/ commissary, (10 unit) recreation, (2 unit) game room, (22 unit) diner, (27 unit) kitchen, (7 unit) housekeeping, (15 unit) hoteling facility, (1 unit) electrical building, and (6 unit) core corridor.
The interior color scheme along with the wood exterior finishing gives the lodge a feel of an urban hotel. A novel à la carte ordering system and new dining room design modeled after restaurants provides an enhanced dining experience to guests.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : The project was cost effective due to detailed project planning and lean manufacturing in our plant. This project was our pilot for BIM (building information modeling). The BIM application helped to reduce engineering conflicts, which led to cost reduction during manufacturing and construction phases. In addition, material take-offs were more accurate and the material waste reduced significantly. The project life-cycle cost including engineering, manufacturing, construction, and operational costs reduced considerably due to value engineering sessions through design stage.
Sustainable features such as multi-use kitchen equipment, plumbing system that recycles water, low energy hand dryers, ultra-low-flow toilets, and PTAC units with individual climate control provide operational cost savings. Features such as detachable battens to cover joints between units avoid damage to drywalls during dismantling and make the units easily relocatable.

Technical Innovation : We wanted to offer variety and reduce line-ups in our dining room. Our new system allows guests to order tailored à la carte meals on kiosks. Guests no longer wait in line and get salad and drinks while their meal is prepared. The system has increased operational efficiencies, as we average only 8 min. per order.
Our ovens are a combination of a convection oven and pressure steamer. They can fry, steam, bake and roast, so less equipment is needed, reducing gas and electricity use. The self-cleaning system cuts water use and the pressure steamer is powered by steam generated by the steamer itself, eliminating gas usage. The plumbing system collects greywater from blackwater and can be recycled within the lodge. To avoid spills we built a metal wall around fuel storage tanks and applied fire resistant spray to the bottom of the walls and each tank, and under obstructions. We also use low energy hand dryers, ultra-low-flow toilets and PTAC units with individual climate control.
