Délı̨nę Daycare

The 3,775 square foot Délı̨nę daycare building is designed for the care of 25 children 2 to 5 years old. This building is the first of its kind to be built in Délı̨nę, a remote subarctic Dene community in the Northwest Territories, population 550.

The design concept for the daycare was inspired by the Arctic fish found in Great Slave Lake near Délı̨nę which means "where the water flows." This tribute to the Dene people and their respect for fish as an important food source also recognizes its' economic value for the Délı̨nę Dene through ecocultural tourism and recreational fishing.

Nadji Architects' design was created to honour Délı̨nę culture by creating a modern barrier-free accessible daycare facility with detailed focus on a space where physical, social, emotional and intellectual well-being contribute to the building of a strong cultural identity within the children.
