In the British Columbian interior, we are partnering with the Okanagan Indian Band to build a new 26,200 sq. ft. School.?
The new OKIB Cultural Immersion School was designed by the community elders and consultants at Iredale Architecture to create an inclusive learning environment for students from kindergarten to grade seven. Once complete, the school will feature 14 classrooms, a library, a kitchen, and cafeteria, a gymnasium, outdoor play areas, and a dedicated cultural and drumming area.??
Summer at Aspen Beach
Aspen Beach was the first Alberta Provincial Park, and after 92 years of serving campers, it was due for a refresh.?
We worked with METAFOR using a three-phased approach to build a new boardwalk and bridge, refurbish campgrounds, renovate trails, dredge the lake, place new boat docks, and erect precast bathrooms.??
Our team also self-performed a selective demolition, installing wood to reinforce the boardwalk, and adding wood perimeters around tent sites.??
Opening new doors with the Children's Cottage Society
We teamed up with the Children's Cottage Society and SAHURI + Partners Architecture Inc. to build the three-storey, 11,000 sq. ft. building that consists of a main floor with community support services and an intake area, a second floor with a protected nursery and commercial kitchen, and our team self-performed the third floor wood framing and truss installation that will serve as an administrative space. ?

National Director Indigenous Strategies at Chandos Construction
11 个月Very honoured to participate in the ground breaking ceremony for this exciting project at OKIB. Looking forward to working with the community on this project. At Chandos, we exist to build a better world. While we build this school, we’re also building a relationship with OKIB and building a future for the youth in this community where they will have the opportunity to learn in their own Syilx Okanagan language and culture.
