The White Buffalo Treatment Centre leadership team came to us with a list of needs and a near-impossible timeline. 3twenty was up for the challenge on this unique design-build project.

Project Summary

The White Buffalo Treatment Centre (WBTC) supports Indigenous female youth who are experiencing challenges with drugs, alcohol, and inhalant misuse. The program follows a holistic treatment model built around four cornerstones: spiritual, emotional, physical, and mental wellness. Previously, the Centre operated in another First Nation community. However, the organization needed to relocate to a new facility with little notice. Because of the specialized requirements of a treatment centre, finding an existing building was not a viable option.

After seeing 3twenty’s work with school divisions, the Executive Director and her team reached out to explore a full design-build solution for a new facility.

3twenty’s design team worked closely with White Buffalo Treatment Centre leadership to understand the needs of both staff and clients. Through these discussions, the team developed a design that includes 10 private bedrooms for clients, classroom space, living areas, a dining hall, a smudge room, and dedicated office space for staff. The design prioritizes comfort, safety, and a supportive healing environment.

“We got in touch with 3twenty, and we had a conversation about what we needed and how short of a time frame we had. They assured us they could do it, and we worked with them every day. They pulled it off and followed through on all their promises. We are very grateful for that.” - Colleen Rudderrham, Executive Director
