Sunday Creek Lodge
Additional Info
Award Winner : Black Diamond Group
Architectural Excellence : Located in Alberta’s oilsands, Sunday Creek is a beacon of comfort in the wilderness. This facility typifies modular versatility with seamless customization, premium features & amenities in the harshest environment. Opened December 2009, the facility is more hotel than camp with a luxurious central core designed to detract from the isolation workers in the north face daily. A 16’ rock wall greets guests while elevated arctic corridors provide year-round comfort. A premium games room features lounge seating, fireplace & games tables and the professional-quality gym boasts commercial grade fitness equipment, sports flooring & individual entertainment systems tied into each cardio station. The food service amenities compete with bustling New York bistros. The menu is dynamic and varied. The dining facilities are thoughtfully designed to meet high-volume demand. The market bistro-style décor is casual & inviting with seamless flooring, ambient lighting & spacious seating.
Cost Energy Effectiveness : There is a self-contained water treatment plant constructed on site, to feed fresh, potable water to Sunday Creek Lodge. This feature alone results in an annual cost savings of over half a million dollars. Future development will include the construction of a self-contained sewage treatment plant, making the lodge completely self-sufficient, increasing the cost-effectiveness even further. In addition, the design and layout of the central core allows certain areas to be closed off during slower times, consolidating guests and resulting in increased time-efficiencies for staff.

Technical Innovation : Creative custom hardwood millwork is peppered throughout the lodge complex – accent walls and picture ledges camouflage wiring boxes, power panels and other unsightly elements. The dining facilities have been twinned to double the efficiency of the food service capabilities during peak times – two dining rooms, two service lines and two 4-sided, custom-built refrigerated salad station islands make busy mealtimes a snap. During slow shifts one side can be completely closed off, increasing the efficiency of the area. High-end kitchen equipment, top grade stainless steel and no-slip kitchen flooring create a safe and efficient working environment for staff. The dining facility also features a rig box area to house large volumes of pre-packaged hot and cold lunches for offsite workers, engineered HVAC systems for quality air flow and high efficiency furnaces for year-round comfort.
