With an empty office, the pandemic gave Minto an opportunity to modernize its headquarters and update its technology. But the pandemic also brought supply chain challenges with it. DIRTT’s modular prefabricated system was the perfect way to satisfy all requirements.

The Challenge
Minto knew it needed a smaller office footprint and updated technology to accommodate hybrid workers. As a green home builder, the company also wanted to incorporate sustainable practices and elements reflecting its 65-year history.

Our Solution
Minto was looking for a partner that could provide residential design touches while still maintaining the efficiency of modular prefab. Minto had previously used the DIRTT Construction System in its Toronto office, so they were familiar with the value we deliver. That office included a DIRTT timber frame structure that quickly became a gathering spot. The Ottawa headquarters uses four similar structures to provide natural warmth and a calm, comfortable vibe.
Technology is embedded into the walls for a clean look that complements the overall aesthetic. DIRTT’s wall system allows for easy access when technology needs to be swapped out. Our ability to incorporate custom graphics is showcased throughout, including in the boardroom where wall-sized historical photos provide a focal point.
The Impact
The Minto Headquarters is anything but cookie-cutter. Beyond the eye-catching timber, DIRTT delivered the fit, finish, and attention to detail the designer demanded. Minto also leveraged our modular construction system to add residential design touches. And they did it all on time and on budget.

Having a one-stop shop and a turnkey solution was attractive to us. Without the need to coordinate trades across multiple disciplines, we reduced the potential for any project delays.”
