Mechanical systems for residential care
Buildings where people live and receive care place steady demands on mechanical systems:
- Hot water for many residents at the same time
- Comfortable, even heating through long Island winters
- Ventilation and indoor air quality for shared living spaces
- Durable, easy-to-service plumbing in washrooms and kitchens
- Reliability, because repairs must happen around residents' daily routines
Institutional experience
Edgewood joins other care, housing and institutional projects in Waywest's history, including Uplands Walk supportive housing and the Nanaimo City Hall Annex. Care facilities today rely on Waywest for construction and for scheduled PropertyCare maintenance.
