The project team consulted with the Nation to collaboratively deliver an education centre that will serve the community and provide future generations with a welcoming space that provides positive learning experiences.Located in Whitehorse, BC, the hub will be a cornerstone of the KFDN community.
It houses spaces for a K-12 school, adult education and employment, income assistance, and a pathways to empowerment program.
It also incorporates language and culture programs, and the Dusk’a Head Start Family Learning Centre.
The building will have approximately 3,400 sq. m of gross floor area, accommodating 80+ staff.The structure consists of a combination of mass timber and light wood-frame components, and is targeting Net Zero Carbon.
The space seamlessly integrates interior and exterior elements by way of a tall glass atrium, a courtyard, several walking paths and crosswalks.
