Pomeroy Employee Housing

Total Square Footage - 24,194 sq ft

Number of Modules - 36 mods

Location: Kananaskis, AB

The Pomeroy Lodging Employee Housing complex in Kananaskis, AB, is a 24,194 sq. ft., three-storey structure with 57 studio units and a communal main-level area, designed for full-time employees. Comprising 36 prefabricated modules, the building harmonizes with its mountain surroundings through earthy tones, a pitched roof, Hardie siding, and timber accents. The layout optimizes space with efficient studio configurations, enhancing functionality for residents. Its design respects the scenic mountain landscape, minimizing environmental impact while providing high-quality housing. The modular approach ensured precise planning and visual coherence, meeting tight deadlines for the 2025 G7 Summit while delivering long-term affordable housing for local workers.

Affordable Housing Under Tight Deadlines

This fast-track modular project met tight G7 Summit deadlines with 36 modules built off-site, enabling simultaneous site prep and fabrication. Factory construction ensured enhanced quality control, minimized material waste, and reduced environmental disturbance within the protected mountain park. Durable, energy-efficient materials—such as high-performance insulation, efficient HVAC, and sustainable materials—lower long-term operating costs while meeting strict environmental regulations. By pre-building in a controlled setting, the project overcame harsh weather, short construction windows, and logistical constraints typical of remote builds. The result is a durable, sustainable housing model that blends efficiency, quality, and environmental stewardship.

High-Quality Housing Without Delay

By constructing 36 modules in the ROC Modular controlled manufacturing facility, we eliminated weather delays, reduced costly on-site labour, and avoided inefficiencies typical of mountain builds. Parallel workflows—offsite fabrication and on-site foundation work—accelerated completion, cutting carrying costs. Durable, low-maintenance materials were chosen to maximize lifecycle value and minimize operating expenses. The streamlined installation process reduced heavy equipment needs, preserving the site and lowering mobilization costs. Strategic partnerships with local trades ensured seamless final connections. The result: high-quality, permanent housing delivered faster and more affordably than traditional construction, without compromising design or environmental standards.

For construction professionals, the message is clear. By adopting semi-automation and digitalization, companies can deliver projects faster, more accurately, and more profitably, while also building stronger collaboration across teams. The approach is not about replacing people with machines, but about empowering people with better tools and processes.

Why Modular Data Centers Are Gaining Momentum

Artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and edge applications push the limits of traditional “stick-built” data centers. They take years build, often struggle with high density workloads, and aren’t optimized for deployments near end users. Modular data center platforms are purpose-built to address these challenges, offering flexibility and scalability to adapt to evolving technologies, while opening new opportunities for the modular construction industry.
