The Whistle Bend Elementary School (WBES) is a new K-7 school designed for 450 children.  The design is the first test case of the Yukon Schools Functional Program and was designed as a 21^st Century School.  The school was designed to work with the natural topography of the site and dovetail with the existing woodlot and natural drainage.

KZA provided indicative design drawings to 30% Contract Documents phase.  A comprehensive Indicative Design package and Statement of Requirements (SOR) with 30 photo-realistic renderings that explicitly communicate the Project Team’s design intent, ambience, look and feel for the school while leaving room for the Design Builder to innovate final construction means and methods.

The Design Builder’s Architect was Northern Front Studio.
