Signature Dental is growing, and we are very excited to announce that we have expanded to a new building. Our new dental office will not only help us serve our patients better, but it will create a happier and healthier work environment.
Will are located at 350-4392 West Saanich Road, in front of the old B.C. Hydro administration building. This new building is the latest LEED certified building in Victoria.
Some of the "Green" features of the new building include:
- Green/living roof
- Geothermal heating and cooling, which uses 40% less energy than traditional buildings
- Water reducing plumbing fixtures
- Large windows to maximize daylighting
- Up to 20% of the building is made from recycled material
- 30% of the construction materials are regional
- Over 97% of the construction debris has been diverted from the landfill
- There is secure bike storage and showers to encourage employees to leave their cars at home
We are also doing our part to help the environment by:
- utilizing an amalgam separator which will reduce 95% of the mercury containing amalgam sludge from entering the waste water.
- using green building products such as carpet, ceiling tile and flooring which contain some recycled materials.
- utilizing the latest digital x-ray technology which will not only reduce radiation exposure by 90%, but will eliminate the need for film and processing chemicals.
- using LED lighting that will reduce energy use by 40%
The new office is located next to Centennial Trail (Part of the Galloping Goose and Lochside Trail network). The office building has plenty of free parking and is located on major bus routes. As well, our patients will have easy access to common washrooms. There will also be great views of Mount Douglas and the Olympic Mountains range.
