In 2007,  ACL Design Build Solutions Limited was awarded the Building for Better Living (BBL) contract to design and build nine new nursing homes throughout the Province of Nova Scotia. On average each home took 12 months to complete. ACL Design Build Solutions Limited began project construction in 2008 and by May 2010 all nine sites were operational. The BBL project resulted in many new concepts for residents, Shannex and the larger long term care sector. Through BBL, smaller household of 12-16 people were introduced, with the total home occupancy ranging from 36-65 people. This project highlighted the importance and the success of strong community relations in design and development, which we have continued to focus and foster in any new development.
