Project Overview

As Calgary Flying Club prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2027, Westaim Construction was selected to reimagine and modernize one of Calgary’s longest-standing aviation facilities. The vision is to transform the existing property into a contemporary, welcoming environment that reflects the organization’s rich history while supporting its future growth. Through a collaborative design process, Westaim developed detailed 3D concepts that were presented to the Club’s Board of Directors, receiving strong approval for their modern architectural aesthetic, functional planning, and long-term vision. The project encompasses both interior and exterior renovations designed to elevate the member, visitor, and operational experience.

The Challenge

Modernizing a 17,500-square-foot aviation facility while preserving daily functionality requires careful planning and phased execution. The project includes diverse spaces—from administrative offices and reception areas to aircraft hangars, washrooms, and public viewing areas—each with unique operational requirements. In addition to creating a cohesive architectural identity, the renovation must be coordinated over multiple construction phases to minimize disruption to club operations while maintaining safety, accessibility, and long-term facility performance.

Our Solution

Westaim Construction is delivering a comprehensive design-build solution that combines architectural innovation with technical coordination and phased construction planning. Working closely with the Calgary Flying Club’s leadership, our team is managing design development, consultant coordination, permitting, and renovation sequencing to create a facility that honors the Club’s legacy while introducing contemporary design, improved functionality, and enhanced visitor amenities.
