The ACS team was hired to manage the construction of this large employee housing construction project for Lake Louise Ski Resort. Utilizing our extensive experience working within Parks Canada permitting restraints and requirements, ACS was the first choice for Lake Louise Ski Resort.

This project involves the construction of the first building and first phase of the Charleston Residence site redevelopment. It will be a mixed-construction building with both conventional constructions completed on-site as well as modular construction units.

The PH1 building is approximately 29,000 sq ft with 19 staff housing units, containing a combination of 4, 5, and 6 bedroom configurations as well as common areas and administration areas.

This project included extensive pre-construction from the ACS team, which included permitting, value engineering and setting the project up to get the boots on the ground by July 2024.

Lake Louise Ski Resort is replacing the original employee housing building that once stood here, to provide much needed accommodation to their employees.
