Architectural Excellence : One thousand five hundred people; it is what can be described as a small town fabricated, transported and installed by Northgate Industries Ltd for MEG Energy and is known as the Poplar Ridge Lodge. The structure consists of 595 modules forming a 1500 seat dining auditorium, state of the art administration area and culminating in twenty six, two story dormitories housing the 1500 residents. Architecturally selected finishes provide an inviting and warm atmosphere to balance the sometime harsh climate of northwest Alberta. Visually and auditory affects are offered by the use of art work, wall décor, white noise and incorporating structural components and mechanical systems into the interior design.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : LEED principles were the foundation of the design and utilized all available technologies in the facility. The domestic heating and cooling systems utilize highly efficient fixtures generating a 90% efficiency rating. All domestic water system fixtures and appliances are low volume water use and all of the electrical fixtures were selected for their power saving properties. The architectural, mechanical and electrical systems are complete in each module eliminating the need for core system installation in the field that lead to tremendous cost savings.
