Pioneer Office
Range Road 211, Division No. 2, AB, Canada
YEAR
2007
Pioneer Office, as part of the overall development of the company, required an administration office adjacent to the new production and seed cleaning facility on the south of the highway from Lethbridge to Medicine Hat. Due to the relative nearness to the production facility and factory, it was requested that the design of the office should provide a suitable environment for the administration staff; therefore, it was proposed to use in-situ concrete forms for the exterior walls of the new office facility. The in-situ concrete forms (ICF) were used from the basin up to the underside of the main floor roof trusses. In-situ concrete forms provide superior thermal resistance as well as sound insulation for the office environment. This proved extremely successful.The roof structure was a traditional wood frame with additional thermal insulation to maintain sound and thermal insulation equal to the ICF block. Additionally, aluminum double glazed windows were used to compliment the new office building. The main floor comprise the individual offices and staff canteen area for the adjacent factory. The basement area was provided primarily as storage space for the office records within the Pioneer company.
