For the renewal of Lethbridge Polytechnic's Student Health & Wellness Centre, the goal was an environment that feels welcoming, supportive, and free of stigma, so students can seek help with confidence and comfort.

Warm, natural materials and intuitive space planning were the main tools: an environment that reads as welcoming, accessible, and professional at once. Privacy, acoustics, and the arrival experience all got particular attention.

Today the centre gives students a modern, inclusive environment to access physical and mental health services, and staff space designed around their own operational needs.

Most boarded soccer fields double as multi-use courts, often shared with hockey. The field at Shift Community Recreation Centre in Coaldale isn't one of those. It's borderless, using line markings instead of boards, closer to how an outdoor pitch plays, and purpose-built for indoor soccer and lacrosse rather than retrofitted for multiple sports.

The interior stays smooth on purpose, including through the bench area, to cut down on injuries during play and allow quick substitutions. Glass protects spectators and keeps balls contained. Two drop-down curtains can divide the field into three smaller sections for other activities or practices.

Coaldale's sports community and the Town were consulted throughout the design.
