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.
