Th e new staff housing complex at Panorama<br />

next ski season.<br />

Th e goal of this new development is to provide a<br />

better resort experience for Panorama Mountain Village<br />

employees, with an aim to attract, develop and<br />

retain the best employees in the industry.<br />

“We are very excited, after years of eff ort, to begin<br />

the fi nal phase of our staff housing project. Starting<br />

this December we are going to be able to provide an excellent,<br />

on-resort, housing experience for our seasonal<br />

staff , making Panorama the employer of choice in the<br />

region,” said General Manager and Vice-President of<br />

Panorama Mountain Village, Mark Woodburn.<br />

Two new buildings will provide 96 new beds – a<br />

45-percent increase from what is currently available.<br />

Each building will be three stories plus a loft for<br />

a total of 48 beds. Within the buildings there are 10<br />

dwelling units containing four single bedrooms, a<br />

kitchen, and two bathrooms.<br />

Th e loft will have four double bedrooms, a large<br />

kitchen and four bathrooms. All units will have highspeed<br />

Internet connections.<br />

Common building amenities include a lounge<br />

area/recreation room, a computer room, a locker<br />

room, and laundry facilities.<br />

“What’s unique about this staff housing project<br />

is that the buildings are being pre-constructed in 20<br />

modules by Britco Structures. Factory construction<br />

of the modules began March 21 with completion<br />

planned for the end of May,” explained Senior Project<br />

Manager Matt Stanley.<br />

Prior to the arrival of the modules, excavation and<br />

foundation work will be done as well as providing<br />

sewer, water and hydro services to the site.<br />
