Starbucks Canada will open a first-of-its-kind Starbucks drive-thru store in Abbotsford, British Columbia. With near-zero construction waste, the store is designed to reduce energy needs for heating and cooling compared to standard construction builds.
According to the Canada Green Building Council, buildings are responsible for almost 40% of global carbon emissions and 50% of global material use. Designed, manufactured and constructed by Nexii Building Solutions, the Starbucks drive-thru store – set to open early this year – represents a step forward in the company’s aspirations to operate more efficient stores.
Starbucks has been a global leader in designing its stores to achieve LEED certification standards since 2005, ensuring energy and water efficiencies. As a new-build construction project, the Starbucks Abbotsford drive-thru store was assembled in just six days – the result of Nexii’s unique precision-manufacturing process, whereby panels for the store’s roof and walls were designed and manufactured offsite. Through optimized manufacturing and simplified assembly, this building process reduces construction waste relative to typical industry practices.
