Helicopter Hangar
A mass timber A-frame hangar proposed for a 10-month design-and-build deadline using overlapping approvals and fabrication.
Our response to a York Regional Police request for proposals to design and build a helicopter hangar. To meet the 10-month deadline, the proposal overlapped approvals with mass timber fabrication. An A-frame structure kept the building simple and left room for maintenance, with offices overlooking the double-height maintenance floor and a site laid out for helicopter manoeuvring.
The proposal did not go to construction.
