Adaptive Reuse in Redcliff, AB at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Medicine Hat

Building History
Flint Energy Services was a steel fabricating and oil field service company that serviced throughout Canada. The 1901 Highway Avenue property includes 8.37 acres (3.4 hectares) and is developed with five buildings that were commissioned by Flint Energy Services. Upon U-Haul's acquisition of the buildings in 2016, the site had been vacant.
Adaptive reuse building conversions allow U-Haul to promote infill development to meet citizens’ needs while preserving the natural resources and land normally required for new construction. Adaptive reuse also allows resources to be focused on integrating environmentally thoughtful features into the existing building rather than creating waste in the form of demolition and using valuable resources for new construction.
