design, build and operate a 2,586-person turnkey workforce housing

Regina. The accommodation facility is the largest Canadian contract
in ATCO Structures & Logistics' history.
"Our reputation for designing, building, and operating large
mining accommodations throughout the world, in addition to our

mining accommodation of this scope and scale reinforces our
long-standing reputation for having the capacity to deliver a large
and comfortable workforce housing lodge."

including two pre-engineered buildings, a 20,000 sq. ft. sports
complex with gymnasium, squash courts, weight room, and a raised
running track that overlooks the gym. A recreational director will
organize fitness programs. A separate pre-engineered building will
house a 200-seat movie theatre.
The core building includes a 1,200-person dining room, a
separate private dining area, lounge, library, convenience store,
medical centre, and full laundry service. Fireplaces located
throughout the facility will provide a warm, comfortable setting.
The two-storey accommodation wings are connected by arctic
corridors and feature 160 sq. ft. bedrooms with private washrooms.
Each room will include a flatscreen TV, phone and wireless internet
capabilities. The first phase, comprising 500 rooms, will be
operational in October 2012 with completion of the full 2,586-room
camp and facilities scheduled for mid-2013.
