YWCA Hamilton – Hamilton, ON

Project Overview

The YWCA Ottawa Street is a 50-unit affordable housing & community centre that is leading by example, proving that low-income housing can be built on a modest budget to the highest energy standard. In doing this, the building can become a tool for social empowerment of its occupants.

The YWCA has embraced the Passive House Standard as a way to demonstrate social and fiscal responsibility, leveraging the natural resilience and low energy consumption of the development to protect the capital investment. The YWCA will be able to track energy usage through sub-metering, providing valuable data for future learning. An integrated design team approach was taken to produce a factory-built precast wall system that is airtight from day one.

The YWCA Hamilton Project is an 8-level precast concrete project with a total area of 87,911 square feet. The project will include a total of 244 walls, with 35,893 square feet of isolated walls and solid walls. Total precast will be skim finished at 41,800 square feet.
