Students in Alberta Create a Sustainable Modular Home for Families in Remote Areas
The Canadian province of Alberta has experienced massive development in recent years as industries like forestry, mining and especially energy have moved in to take advantage of the natural resources. As a result, there has been a shortage of housing and a rise in housing costs for employees stationed across the province. Students at University of Calgary and Mount Royal University in Calgary have joined together to find a solution to the problem. The result is Borealis, a sustainable modular home that can be built quickly and easily in remote locations and moved whenever the job requires.
