Remote Monitoring and Control, Temporary Climate Solutions
The University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) in British Columbia is expanding its Abbotsford Campus with several buildings including student housing. Clark Builders, a division of Turner Construction, is leading the construction of the 400-bed six-story residence set to open in 2025. The 149,400-square-foot hybrid structure is comprised of reinforced concrete, mass timber, and light wood framing. The UFV Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) team was keen to incorporate a multi-faceted humidity control system into the temporary heating plan to ensure optimal conditions were maintained for the light wood framing and cross-laminated timber (CLT) floor system throughout the winter months.
