Onigaming First Nation Multi-Purpose Facility

H. Bradford Green Inc. together with the Ojibway of Onigaming First Nation Chief, Council and Project Co-ordinator, Health Canada Representatives and the Matawa Project Management Group have teamed up to create a Multi-Purpose Facility on the Ojibway of Onigaming First Nation. This unique Multi-Purpose Facility will house two community functions, a Health Canada Station and the First Nation administration offices. The intent of the facility is to have the Health Station and administrative offices in close proximity to each other for functional and convenience purposes.

Adhering to the original intent, the design offers separate entrances, parking and services for both sides of the facility, creating the desired separation between the two functions. However, under a central vaulted ceiling space, which housed the council chambers, the two functions are brought together creating an impressive homogenous look to the facility. The overall result is a 1200sq. m. wood framed assembly which celebrates the character and community of this Northern Ontario, Ojibway First Nation.
