MEC Head Office

Mountain Equipment Co-op has always strived to do business a little differently. Owned by its customers, this earth-conscious Canadian outdoor gear and clothing brand began planning for a new head office in 2008, when it became clear it would soon outgrow its existing facilities.

​

The client’s desire was to target LEED Platinum certification and utilize wood as widely as possible throughout the structure, for its carbon-sequestering capabilities and its visual appeal.
