Big Sky Employee Housing

Employees at Big Sky Ski Resort have been challenged to find affordable housing near their place of employment. As with many ski resorts across the country, it is often not cheap to live near the ski resort, pushing many employees to have long commutes to areas that are cheaper, or to places where there is often inclement and unpredictable weather. Big Sky is becoming an industry leader by finding ways to provide its employees with affordable housing options. In March 2023, the resort opened the 3 story Levinsky Lodge, a modular apartment style housing building that is walking distance to the resort.  Since the apartments were modular, construction times were greatly reduced. AE Dynamics provided structural engineering services in 2 phases. Phase 1 involved developing plans for the modular units prior to construction. Phase 2 involved developing drawings that were a complete set of construction drawings for the entire building. Also included in the Phase 2 drawings were a foundation system, assembly details, and added site-built structural elements.
