In 2018, KZA was retained by Air Canada to design a new General Services Equipment (GSE) building on Erik Nielsen Whitehorse International Airport (ENWIA) property adjacent to the existing firehall and adjoining the active apron area.

Air Canada operations in Whitehorse have been routinely hampered by extreme cold conditions which reduce the effectiveness of its ground handling equipment. This building provides Air Canada with a fully winterized setup for this critical infrastructure. The building consists of a pre-engineered steel frame apparatus storage facility to accommodate an assortment of 19 Air Canada GSE vehicles ranging from container loaders, baggage carts, de-icing vehicles, tugs, tractors and lav carts. The building features a wood mezzanine that provides all the ancillary space required to support the operation and maintenance of the various apparatus. Support rooms include office space, welding rooms, locker areas, tool cribs, a welding room and ready room. The building is designed to allow for a future expansion of the mezzanine into a full second storey and for the addition of an overhead gantry crane. The building features high levels of insulation as well as a strategic arrangement of natural lighting to reduce power consumption and improve lighting conditions for routine equipment maintenance.
