About the Project

Northern Lights College engaged Faction Architecture Inc. as the prime consultant to provide a 1,570 ft² addition to the existing Childcare facility serving the Chetwynd College Campus and community. The addition contained a new classroom of 12 spaces focused on toddler care, new napping rooms, new washroom, and other storage and service spaces as well as an extension to the playground and covered playground area to encompass the new child count. The existing building is a wood structure with painted wood siding, so the new addition has a similar aesthetic, using metal siding for durability.

The building was designed with heavy timber and wood structure with large windows bringing light into the classroom areas and the new learning space. The interior was designed with materials that support children’s learning including soft tones and durable materials. Northern Lights College was pleased to provide more childcare options to the community of Chetywnd.
