Squaxin Island Tribe Natural and Cultural Resource Centre completed in July.

The Natural and Cultural Resource Center brings two important departments together under one roof. Historically the Squaxin Island Tribe have an important connection to the water around the Olympic Peninsula. The mission of this project is to develop a facility that both inspires and enables staff, community and visitors to become stewards of their natural and cultural worlds. The main building program includes open and enclosed office space, labs, archive, conference rooms, and change rooms. An outdoor barbecue area and main entrance foyer forms the heart of this facility inviting community involvement. Adjacent to the main building is a works compound with a boat storage garage and workshop.
