Client

Location

Description

When you look at the new TransCanada Centre in Île des Chênes, Manitoba, you remember that the construction business is often about more than bricks and mortar. Sometimes construction is about changing the face of a community. The new 18,000 sq. ft. centre, located 10 minutes south of the Perimeter, replaced a centre that was 70 years old.

The TransCanada Centre is a hub of activity. The social hall holds 500 people (twice as many as the old centre), the on-site daycare holds 94 kids and soon the centre will be home to a medical clinic, a dentist's office and a pharmacy. The centre also features a number of meeting rooms, a commercial kitchen, and hosts socials, weddings, trade shows and other large events.

The building itself is an environmentally-friendly gem on the prairie landscape. It's a LEED certified building, heated and cooled by an extensive geothermal system connected to the nearby arena and fire hall.

The client had a good working relationship with Westland on the project, discussing any hiccups along the way and coming up with suitable solutions.
