The pavilion Kweyulutsun'ewu't-hw was architecturally designed and engineered for this project with the idea of provindg an open-air outdoor learning space, The innovative structure draws inspiration from Cowichan monumental architecutre, occupation of the land by the Cowichan people with a minimal disturbance of the sub‐surface.  

Drawing on an archive of late 19th century photos of cedar plank houses at Quamichan, this pavilion was made entirely with custom milled and treated cedar from the Cowichan Valley, and set into bases that were carefully archaeologically investigaed prior to construction.  

Classes are the priority users for this space, which also includes a ring of seatig stones set just outside the building, under the shade of older Garry Oak tress.

We are grateful to architect Chris Frlying for the design, and Richwood Contracting for their creative work to build the structure.
