The Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council embarked on bringing a new administration building to one of their member communities, Loon River First Nation in northern Alberta. 3twenty was part of an integrated team to bring this project to life.

Project Summary

Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council (KTC) is made up of five member Nations in Alberta. The organization formed in 1995 to support joint action on matters of shared importance, including education and child and family services. At the time, KTC staff worked across multiple locations. Leadership shared a vision to bring everyone together under one roof.

Loon River First Nation’s newly developed commercial park became the home of the Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council Administration Building. A project management team came together early in the process, and 3twenty joined the project to lead the building design. Through extensive consultation with the team and key stakeholders, 3twenty developed a floor plan and overall design that met the organization’s needs. Other stakeholders also contributed architectural input, including the incorporation of a timber frame entrance.

Loon River First Nation’s community-owned construction company led the entire civil scope of work and prepared the site for development. 3twenty delivered the building and completed all tie-ins during an exceptionally cold winter season.

Project Details

“3twenty was an active and key participant in the planning stages of the project. Their construction knowledge lead to savings in time and cost. During construction, 3twenty worked closely and cooperatively with Loon River First Nation consulting engineers, other suppliers, subcontractors and First Nations staff to keep the project on time and budget.” - Peter Moore, Project Manager
