Aboriginal Gathering Place

Located in Capilano University, North Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

We are almost finished the the Capilano University Aboriginal Gathering Place Project, a 1200 sqft Tenant Improvement (TI) within the existing library and 2 pavilions in close proximity to it. Pavilion A directly adjacent to the TI will be used for outdoor ceremonies and a gathering place in the forest for all students on campus. Pavilion B directly outside the President's office reactivates a previously sunkin concrete plaza. The new Pavilion and wood deck will create lean-too shelter for students to use. It will also double as an outdoor event space.

View of Pavilion A through the forest.

Final touches on the Bear House posts before they are stained and tranported to site for installation in Pavilion A.

View of Pavilion B, a lean-too structure anchoring the north side of the plaza providing shelter for students and scoops the sun from the south bringing the warmth of wood into the heart of the Campus.

The student lounge completed and well used.
