The Project

The Kluane Community Outdoor Skating Rink required the addition of a change room facility and fitness centre. AHC provided design assist input for the construction of CLT walls and roof — the exposed mass timber surfaces create a natural and inviting environment. During construction AHC was the general contractor.

Our Solution

Cross Laminated Timbers (CLTs) were the main construction component for this project. We were able to prefabricate 70% of the building and place all components in shipping containers which were delivered directly to the remote job site in the Yukon. A metal frame foundation system allowed us to install directly on the permafrost and eliminated the need for concrete.
