Buffalo Crossing Paul Albrechtsen Visitor Centre presents a gateway to FortWhyte Alive, a 660-acre urban nature preserve in Winnipeg. Rising from a reclaimed industrial landscape, the 1,675 m² mass timber building responds to the site's forests, pit lakes, and extreme climate. It’s striking triangular form balances openness, performance, and connection to place. Developed with Indigenous partners, the project integrates spaces for environmental learning, ceremony, gathering, and recreation while achieving Zero Carbon Building Design certification and targeting Passive House certification.
