Donald Cameron Centre

The renovation and expansion of Smith Hall will stand as example of both historical preservation and adoption of modern sustainable technologies. As part of this project the original Smith Hall will be completely retrofitted and expanded to house executive and administrative offices for the Banff Centre. In addition to maintaining the Banff Centre's campuswide approach to low-impact design and preservation of natural open space, the project is part of a movement to develop natural stormwater management techniques in concert with other nearby buildings. Water and energy efficiency are central to the design of building which is taking an integrated approach to conservation. Building materials used in construction will have a smaller environmental impact by including recycled content, regional manufacture, sustainably certified wood, and low VOC content. When complete, the building will offer an exception indoor environment for occupants through operable windows, day lighting, views to the outdoors, and improved comfort.
