KMBR pitches in to create the “most sustainable neighbourhood
in the world”
Millennium Water: The Southeast False Creek Olympic Village is officially the greenest, most energy efficient and sustainable neighbourhood on Earth, after the Canadian Green Building Council announced the LEED Gold certification of all the residential buildings on the site, and the US Green Building Council awarded LEED Platinum ND status to the community as a whole, one of only two neighbourhoods in North America to attain this designation.

KMBR Associate Eric Stacey (MAIBC) lead KMBR’s efforts, in association with GBL Architects Ltd., in the design and contract administration of Millennium Water’s Parcel 9, as well as the contract administration phases for Parcels 2 and 5. Eric was on site for a year and a half handling a wide range of responsibilities, including: conducting field reviews, efficiency reviews and occupancy reviews; responding to Requests for Information; reviewing progress claims; and answering questions from contractors when a design response was required. Eric’s role on the team was integral to the completion of the project, which will likely be one of the most valuable legacies of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
