The insulation is 125-millimetres thick and was deter- mined by energy modelling." Buttcon Construction was tasked with delivering the three Parkway buildings; the company's reputation for providing high quality work- manship and managing fast-track projects was upheld as it maintained the tight schedule during the wan- ing months of the pandemic and navigated the challenges of material supply and delayed delivery times. Henry Morton, president at Campus Suites, says of Buttcon's effi- ciency, "The first three Parkway buildings were delivered right on time under the challenging condi- tions of the lockdowns, and it helped that Buttcon and ARK have collabo- rated on past projects. Buttcon also shared our focus on risk mitigation and LEAN construction methods." Arcnova, well-known for provid- ing building envelope solutions to all kinds of structures, was retained to provide 80,000 square feet of façade. Jay Selcuk, principal/partner, says, "When ARK and Buttcon approached us to fabricate and install the façade system for the project, we pooled our knowledge and experiences to ensure we would finish the project on time, on budget, and with quality. Having previously worked on a sim- ilar project with ARK and Buttcon, the process of ordering material, drafting, fabrication, and installa- tion went very smoothly, with onsite work beginning in November 2022 and wrapping up in July of this year." While Parkway's remaining three buildings will be developed over the next few years, the first three buildings are already a hit with students. "They've voted with their feet," Morton says. "Leasing is strong for this project." Morton goes on to note that "Woodbourne pushed us to go the extra mile for this project, and we and ARK loved the challenge." To which Husted adds, "Going the extra mile meant delivering a true community with nothing overlooked. We couldn't be happier with the results."
