The Habitat for Humanity Neufeld build is the largest Habitat for Humanity Development in Canadian History and is located in Edmonton’s Rutherford community. Habitat Neufeld is intended to house 64 families upon completion in 2016. Given Arrow’s long-standing commitment towards Habitat builds, and emphasis on corporate social responsibility, our team was thrilled at the opportunity to contribute to the design of this significant historical build.

Working in collaboration with IBI Architects, Arrow’s Mechanical and Electrical teams designed a combination of stacked row housing and apartments, totalling 64 units. Many of these units incorporate barrier-free housing space on the main levels in order to facilitate wheelchair accessibility; the second and third floors are designed as bi-level split single-family homes.

Given the nature of Habitat for Humanity homes, all design for Habitat Neufeld Landing  was required to meet Built-Green standards, with the intention of of-setting energy costs for homeowners. With this in mind, Arrow’s Mechanical team designed systems to include high-efficiency furnaces and hot water heaters, while Arrow’s electrical team designed high-efficiency site lighting, coordinated site services, designed interior lighting layouts and more, all with sustainable standards in mind.
