Kee Tas Kee Now Tribal Council Administration Building
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 compromised of five member Nations in Alberta. The organization was formed in 1995 to facilitate joint action by the member Nations on matters of mutual concern. Some of those areas include Education and Child & Family Services. KTC staff were working in multiple locations, and leadership had a vision to bring everyone together under one roof.
It was decided that the Loon River First Nation’s newly developed commercial park would be home to the KTC Administration Building. A project management team was formed, and 3twenty was involved to lead the design of the new building. Through extensive consultation with the team and stakeholders, 3twenty developed a floorplan and design that satisfied the organization’s requirements. Additional architectural input was brought from other stakeholders, including for example the use of a Timber Frame entrance.
Loon River First Nation’s community-owned construction company took the lead in the entire civil scope of the project and in preparing the site for the development. 3twenty delivered the building and conducted all tie-ins in an incredibly cold winter season.
