Demolition and addition to an elderly care / assisted living facility in Peachland, British Columbia. Design plans call for the addition of a 6,640-square-foot, two-story above grade elderly care / assisted living facility.

The Peachland Hub will be a new facility, created by renovating and adding to the existing 50+ Activity Centre, that will house many of Peachland's non-profit groups, servicing Peachlanders of all ages. The site is ideal - centrally located in Peachland - on picturesque Beach Avenue, across the street from a marina and Swim Bay, and in the corner of a municipal park that includes a baseball diamond. The Hub will expand on the existing 50+ Activity Centre, a 6,200 sq. ft. single storey building built in 1975 with two expansions in the subsequent decade. The renovations to the existing building will involve: energy efficiency and envelope upgrades; modernization of electrical, HVAC and kitchen facilities (extent of kitchen facility upgrade or potential to expand will be determined during the SD phase); upgrading some washrooms to current barrier free code while decommissioning others; installing solar panels; and re-purposing some spaces into multi-function spaces. Expansion will involve adding 3,000 sq. ft. of required circulation and a new street face for the building (via a pre-function space/lobby), as well as a two-storey addition with 3,640 sq. ft. per floor providing two multi-purpose spaces and washrooms on the ground floor and office space on the upper floor. Solar panels will be included on the roof of the addition. TIMELINE: Design is underway. Construction RFP is anticipated sometime in 2025, dependent on fundraising activities and the timeline of those successes (this entire project is being funded by fundraising activities of non-profit groups). Further update in late fall 2024, upon approvals.
