Adaptive Reuse in Ajax, ON at U-Haul Moving & Storage of Ajax

Building History

Lifestyle brand has been making sunrooms for the Ontario area for over 30 years. All Lifestyle products are built in an Ontario facility in Peterborough. Local manufacturing gives the company an ability to precisely engineer and construct beautiful sunrooms in custom dimensions. Sunrooms, a room with large windows and sometimes a glass roof are designed to allow in a lot of sunlight and are popular, because they allow people to enjoy all of the seasons and views in the comfort of an enclosed room.

The Lifestyle Sunrooms building was built in 1954 and U-Haul acquired the building in 2013. 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.
