Modular construction key to building Helen Keller Centre for the deaf-blind
Brantford, Ont.-based ANC is showcasing how prefabricated modular construction methods can be used to build large structures like an apartment complex quicker than traditional systems.
The company is putting the finishing touches on a six-storey, 56-unit, modular apartment complex and training structure at the Canadian Helen Keller Centre (CHKC) for the deaf-blind in Etobicoke that’s being delivered in just over a year, half the normal time of traditional construction.
Crews have been able to significantly accelerate the construction timeline for the structure because onsite work such as excavating, installing the concrete slab and installation of a steel podium were able to proceed while modules for housing were manufactured off-site in a factory.
All modular units in the building were installed this past summer. The project is expected to wrap up in March.
The rectangular structure, at 150 Eighth Street, will feature affordable units that are designed to meet the needs of Toronto’s deaf-blind community. The building includes accessible rental apartments plus a dedicated program and 6,500-square-foot training space for residents and others with disabilities. It will operate as supportive housing with onsite services.
The building will feature a ground-floor podium with a contemporary mid-rise structure above. It is comprised of steel-framed modules and precast concrete transitions that act as circulation cores. The facade features a high-contrast design with articulated windows.
Suites and common areas integrate accessibility features such as barrier-free layouts, level thresholds and accessible bathrooms to meet or exceed code for residents with mobility and sensory disabilities.
Many of the units also feature accessible kitchens. ANC’s modular design incorporates strategies like clear wayfinding, strong contrasts between finishes and careful detailing of transitions to support people with low or no vision and combined sensory loss.
ANC worked with a team from the CHKC as well as architects and consultants to convert the conventional design into a prefabricated modular, hybrid steel-and-concrete structure.
ANC’s project team completed a detailed, fully co-ordinated design, adapting the architect’s scheme into a set of modular units with integrated structure, systems and finishes.
Detailed 3D co-ordination by the design team of every feed, line and fire-protection element, along with disciplined scheduling and just-in-time delivery, is critical to ensure steel, foundations and modules all align on schedule.
he CHKC project is part of a growing portfolio of modular and hybrid construction builds completed or underway by ANC. The company is also exploring other advanced techniques such as void form technology for taller structures in seismic or extreme weather zones.
While modular construction brings key advantages to urban infill projects like the CHKC development, it remains to be seen if it is a silver bullet for the housing supply crisis facing the nation.
