Status Complete
The proposed site for the Little Salmon First Nation’s new education and community building lies cradled within a bend in the mighty Yukon River. The project aspires to connect the people to their land, to the river and to each other in a way that builds pride in the community - telling the story of the Nation’s past and looking forward to their future with hope.
A sculpted roofscape creates a sense of of protection and connection to earth, while lifting up to the sky and across to the river.
Arching glulam beams shape a gathering space for up to 800 people to (re)connect.
