Holy Spirit School

Categories: Educational / Institutional, Structural Masonry Design

Address: 200 Fireside Dr, Cochrane, AB T4C 0X4

Year: Cochrane

Date Completed: September 1, 2022


The building was built with mainly concrete block masonry and structural steel tied in at certain points to achieve the intended design. This approach was used to meet the project’s budget and a LEED Silver building rating. Since this project is applying for LEED Silver certification, there were several elements incorporated into the design and build to achieve this. Electrical tie-ins and conduit for solar panel installation on the roof, electric vehicle charging stations were installed in the parking lot, low-flow fixtures for toilets and sinks, and all our materials were vetted for LEED compliance for the entire build. Also part of the LEED initiative was waste diversion.
