Spruce Meadows, voted the 2002 Best Show Jumping Event in the world, needed to address their spectator’s number one concern - a lack of washrooms on site.

ATCO designed this washroom facility to match the existing buildings on site.

This project is technically innovative in that the interior is complete with floor to ceiling tile, which had to be completed in the plant and the floor structure had to be extremely rigid to ensure the tile wouldn’t break during transport to site (each module weighed approximately 70,000 pounds).

As well, this is an unheated structure and therefore has a high temperature differential and frost potential, which had to be accommodated for.
