Fraserwood Project:

Tseshaht First Nation Somass Hall

Port Alberni, BC

The new Somass Hall, set on Tseshaht First Nation land, replaces the old hall that was shut down more than a decade prior for safety reasons. The lower floor of the building is dedicated to children and family services. The main floor is comprised of a large open hall, capped by mixed glulam and powder-coated steel trusses and topped with GLT roof panels.
