Klahoose Multi-Purpose CentreSquirrel Cove, B.C.Merrick
Architecture was chosen by the Klahoose community to design its new
multi-purpose centre in Squirrel Cove, Cortes Island, BC. Its
multi-use design incorporates everything from a health wing and
fitness centre to a language lab, kitchen facilities, and a 300
person “Great Room”. This impressive 15,000-square-foot building
was entirely self-financed by the Klahoose Nation. The AME Group
designed condensing boilers to be set up with air source heat pumps.
With sustainability a key focus, AME utilized natural ventilation to
provide improved indoor air quality, which lends to a healthy space
for the Klahoose community, and improved level of functionality
during the frequent and extended power outages that occur on the
island. Water conserving plumbing was designed throughout the
facility to provide both energy conservation and resource savings. Architect:
