The Castlegar Childcare Centre is in our home community, and Kalesnikoff is pleased to support such an important project serving our local families. The centre provides 30 new childcare spaces, and 20 licensed spaces for care before and after school. This sustainable facility was built on the grounds of the Castlegar and District Community Complex. The project was delivered through a partnership with the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s (RDCK) Castlegar and District Recreation Commission (CDRC) and Kootenay Family Place (KFP).
Our team executed the mass timber design and engineering for this childcare centre located in Castlegar. Exposed Spruce cross laminated timber makes up the walls and roof creating a warm welcoming environment. The structure is comprised of exposed Douglas Fir Glulam.
The building targets higher energy efficiency, BC Energy Code Step 4, which aide in achieving RDCK’s corporate carbon emissions reduction goals plus reduce operational costs. Mass timber was a natural fit for this organization’s sustainability goals.
