Old Crow Community Centre
Old Crow, YT
Being built to replace the existing 1980’s community centre, the new 10,000 sq. ft. building will contain a community hall, Elder’s lounge, commercial kitchen, games room, meeting spaces, administrative office and support spaces.
To meet the harsh environment of the remote northern community, a combination of structural steel, dowel laminated timbers (DLT) and structural insulated panels (SIP) are being used.
École Champs Vallée
Beaumont, AB
The 90,000sq ft. school was designed to accommodate 700 students with growing room for an additional 200 students and featured a number of specialized rooms, such as a wood working shop, art studio and acoustically sensitive music room.
The building was constructed with a structural steel superstructure and utilized a wide range of exterior finishes including metal siding, metal panels, cement composite panels, terrazzo masonry and aluminum curtain walls. These materials were used in conjunction with each other to provide a modern and contemporary design for the exterior of the school.
What defines a project during construction is the actual people involved. The Johnston Builders team made the project [Ecole Champs Vallee] run smoothly, were good at working through issues and were easy to communicate with.

Chappelle Gardens Residents Association
Edmonton, AB
Covering 6,600sq ft., the wood framed resident’s association club house features vaulted ceilings and decorative glulam beam components. To meet the needs of the new community, the buildings design was centered around multi-use spaces including offices, change rooms, flex rooms and a lounge.
With construction of the club house taking place after the completion of Phase 1, extreme care had to be taken during the foundation excavation to avoid disturbing the existing site concrete sidewalks.
I am beyond impressed with the work and professionalism by JBL on this project. You created an amazing building and the process with you on board alleviated the stress of construction.
