Project Spotlight: St. Peter's Church & Indwell Magnolia Apartments 🚧
O’Brien Fabrications is pleased to have completed the HVAC scope for the renovation of St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Kitchener, which now includes the addition of 41 affordable housing units as part of Indwell’s Magnolia Apartments development.
Energy efficiency and occupant comfort were key design priorities for this project. A Mitsubishi VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system was installed in conjunction with RenewAire ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators) throughout the building. This system configuration is well-suited for mixed-use applications, providing independent zone control for both heating and cooling across residential units and shared church spaces, while maintaining efficient ventilation and heat recovery.
We would also like to recognize Nith Valley Construction for their strong leadership and seamless coordination throughout the project. Their direction and commitment to quality played a key role in delivering a successful outcome.
We are proud to have contributed to a project that supports sustainable building practices and helps expand access to affordable housing within the Kitchener community. 🏗️⛪🏙️
