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