Located 250 km north of Edmonton, the Town of Slave Lake, Alberta, is home to 7,000 residents and serves as a regional hub for a population of 25,000. It’s economic base includes tourism, oil, gas and forestry industries. The new Slave Lake Government Centre and Library was designed and built to consolidate a number of government services, in outdated facilities, that were distributed throughout the community of Slave Lake. The new building, which is a combination of renovated space and new construction (Figure 1), has streamlined the delivery of public services in Slave Lake and provided a central place where citizens can meet, interact and conduct daily business in one stop.
