Fort McKay Seniors Residence

The Fort McKay Senior’s Residence is a 2-storey facility with 13 single units, two double units and a palliative care unit. Centered in the development is an open concept dining room with a fireplace and expansive view of the Athabasca River. Care was taken to ensure the design of the building was reflective of the community and the community members who helped to build it. Cultural rooms were created to accommodate traditional practices such as smudging and a teepee-style gazeebo complete the outdoor landscaping. The building itself is accented with glulam timbers and a woodgrain, pre-finished metal cladding.
