The community is only accessible by air and, in late summer, by boat. This new 13,000 ft2 Community Pool & Youth Centre in Whapmagoostui will provide a 25m x 10m 4-lane indoor pool, locker rooms and showers for men and women, a youth centre, a multi-function space, and administrative offices.

As with most northern development projects, this one will meet the specific challenges presented by construction in a severe climate. The choice of materials, the position and protection of glazing, the visibility and control of interior spaces were all considerations in the design.
