Building awards

edit

The building was designed by Mitchell Jensen Architects.[6] The building has received two major awards for its design and construction.

  • 2018 Best of Canada Award, Canadian Interiors Magazine (in collaboration with Carlyle Design Associates)[2]
  • 2018 Northern Ontario Excellence Award, Wood WORKS! Wood Design Awards[7]

Common area

edit

The common area or lobby of the building gives access to a clinic, family room, classroom and other nearby quarters, private and public areas.[5] This area exhibits many different functions circulation wise but holds great architectural components. Common area of the building exhibits an exposed roof structure paneled in a wood veneer.[8] These wood veneer panels are a glue laminated Douglas fir cladding.[8] This cladding extends from the exterior of the building to the interior to draw from its natural surrounding. A two-story limestone cladded wall also brings this idea of an interior and exterior connection. A large window assembly situated on the south end of the common area brings guests a view of Lake Nipissing.[1]
