Helicopter Hangar
York Region, Ontario
This project was submitted as part of an RFP package to the York Regional Police for the design and construction of a new helicopter hangar. Our proposal featured a fast-track method of overlapping approvals and material fabrication to meet the 10-month deadline with the use of mass timber. A robust A-frame structure ensured the simplified integrity of the entire building and ample room for helicopter maintenance within. Offices were proposed overlooking the double-height maintenance area, and site layout considerations were made with helicopter maneuverability in mind. While this proposal did not proceed to construction, however it remains a prime example of the many opportunities and unique solutions mass timber can provide.
