Shelter builds First Nations T’it’kit Preschool

“The last thing you’d think, looking around the big cheerful space, is that you have entered a portable or modular building,” says T’it’kit representative about the new pre-school manufactured by Shelter Industries Inc. “The T’it’kit preschool represents a new class of modular construction.” The walls are well insulated, the rooms are well ventilated and the design is functional elegant. And compared to conventional construction methods, this modular is considerably less expensive.”

Architect Ib Hansen also praised the community for its members hard work. “This was a special project for us,” he said. “It may well be small in footprint but involved lots of time in our office too. We wanted to realize the cost benefits without losing the building’s individuality, he said. We saw a real result when we put this building up for public tender.”

“We have not sacrificed on the finishing work and the building is extremely well insulated. Shelter Industries delivered a quality product.”
