This innovative first-of-its-kind development for women will be brought to life through the vision of Kearns Mancini Architects, whose recent award-winning projects have included the Regent Park and Don Mount Court/Rivertowne neighbourhood redevelopments, and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

YWCA Hamilton will incorporate Passive House design into the build. Passive House buildings allow for heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90 percent compared with average new builds.

We will be leaders in green, sustainable building by using available energy sources such as body heat from residents and solar heat from speciality windows activated for all seasons. Insulation used in Passive House design will keep heat out during the summer and better retain heat in the winter, which makes good business sense as it will allow us to reduce future facility operating costs.
