Langford childcare and art studio

1 September 2026

A two-storey community facility in Langford, BC is now under construction, bringing together licensed childcare and a purpose-built arts and culture centre.

The Langford Childcare and Art Studio is the 1st commercial volumetric mass timber building ever constructed in North America. Prefabricated modules by Kalesnikoff Mass Timber are being assembled on-site right now, delivering faster construction, less waste, and a significantly lower carbon footprint than conventional
building methods.
