This innovative facility—envisioned as a cultural and educational hub—will bring together the Pickering Museum Village, public library services, archival storage, and community gathering areas in one integrated, net-zero carbon building. As part of the City of Pickering’s long-term sustainability and cultural planning, the PHCC is not only a symbol of local heritage but also a model for low-carbon, climate-resilient public infrastructure.
RDH is providing a comprehensive suite of services that include energy and climate consulting to support the project’s Zero Carbon Building certification, building enclosure consulting to ensure long-term durability and performance, and expertise in mass timber moisture management to support the use of sustainable materials. Our integrated approach is helping the City of Pickering realize its ambitious goals for sustainability, resilience, and community engagement.
