We emphasize how important it is to communicate and be responsive to each other. If there are ever any issues, we want them to get brought up and get them dealt with ASAP.” “That has to start with us,” she adds. “I always tell my staff, ‘If you haven’t heard from someone, if someone’s not being responsive, then pick up the phone! Have a conversation. That’s how you’ll find out what’s going on.’” Again, the relationship with International Timberframes went so well that Sigi commissioned UAA to design their next manufacturing plant. And that’s not the only repeat relationship that resulted from that project – since fully delivering the Community Centre and Library, UAAhas also worked with the community of Radium again. For example, they recently collaborated with a landscape architect to design a masterplan for the park in which the community centre is located and they built ‘Radium Stadium,’ which is an outdoor ice rink and concession stand. The roof structure of the community gathering space and gym - DLT beams alternating in a zig zag pattern across the glulam beams - gives homage to the sturgeon, the Shxw` ow` hamel First Nations crest.
