Enoch Cree Nation is located adjacent to the City of Edmonton, Alberta. The Cree name for Enoch is Maskêkosihk, or ‘people of the land of medicine’. The concept of Medicine People became an overriding theme in the design of the facility, creating opportunities to connect with the land. The exterior that faces the city is dynamic and contemporary, and the curved form creates a central courtyard that is more private, which is to be used for cultural activities. The program includes teaching spaces, art galleries, medicinal gardens, performances and theater hall, elder’s lounge, and administration suite with supports of catering kitchen and archive storage.
