A hub of manufacturing on the leading edge of sustainability<\/h3>\r\n

L<\/span>everaging architecture, interior design, landscape, and engineering to make a positive impact on climate change, SOPREMA<\/a>\u2019s new plant in Woodstock, Ontario marks a new chapter for eco-conscious manufacturing. Designed by the architecture and design firm Lemay<\/a>, these facilities help set new standards with its green building leadership in efficient carbon- and cost-savings, in addition to a focus on employee health and well-being.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Using Lemay\u2019s rigorous, award-winning NET POSITIVETM<\/a> framework as guidance, the design of this location makes leaps and bounds in Canada by making sustainability a core element of its conception and creation. Following an in-depth lifecycle assessment that measured the facilities capabilities against the next 60 years of operation, SOPREMA\u2019s Woodstock plant achieved a global standard of green building with a LEED v4 certification, an internationally recognized symbol of sustainability excellence from the Canada Green Building Council. Numerous efforts were made to reduce the environmental impact of the plant: While its construction preferred local and recycled materials with 80% of its construction\u2019s waste going to recycling, the Woodstock location\u2019s operations use 40% less water and avoids the emission of approximately 505 tonnes of CO2, which is the equivalent of removing 153 vehicles from Canadian roads. As a result, the plant\u2019s carbon footprint is 12% lower than that of a comparable structure, resulting in 11% less of an overall environmental impact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Environmental benefits with a striking design<\/h4>\r\n

These state-of-the-art facilities for waterproofing materials and sealant manufacturing demonstrate how a structure\u2019s industrial vocation doesn\u2019t need to be at odds with the environment, or with having a striking design. Working with SOPREMA, Lemay has given shape to the company\u2019s identity and culture through spaces that place emphasis on both the environment and the comfort and well-being of its clients and employees through one innovative landmark project.\u3000User-friendly vistas and rest areas for employees and visitors can be found all across the 10,015 m2 site. Indoors, users benefit from common areas and exposed steel office spaces which sport floor-to-ceiling windows for ample diffusion of natural light and natural views. Outside, local biodiversity is promoted through abundant greenspace, which includes planted trees, ponds for stormwater management, a green inner courtyard, and a hybrid reflective-green roof with terrace and garden components.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This plant is not only one of the few industrial projects to have obtained the prestigious LEED v4 certification in Canada, but it also demonstrates that it is possible to create comfortable, sustainable, and inspiring industrial work environments. In embodying Lemay\u2019s Net PositiveTM approach to create positive impacts for the client, as well as their plant\u2019s users and community, this project transforms the image of Woodstock\u2019s industrial park with the quality of the environment it offers.<\/p>\r\n
