Wascana Park Outdoor Pool

LocationRegina, SK

Completion2023

Overview

P3A collaborated with HCMA on the redesign of Wascana Pool. The new pool will feature a walk-in leisure pool, lap pool, hot tub, waterslides, lazy river, and accessible washrooms and change rooms. 

Wascana Pool is close to the hearts of many in Regina. Community consultation was an important part of the design process and included public and stakeholder engagement as a means for developing consensus for key design decisions. The revitalization of Wascana Pool presents an opportunity to enhance the exterior environment, promote fitness, fun, wellness and safety, and attract families and visitors. While Wascana Pool was already considered an important part of the City’s community fabric, the enhancements will reinforce the site as a hub for Regina’s recreational, social, and cultural life.

Batoche Visitor Centre

LocationBatoche, Saskatchewan

Completion2010

Overview

The existing building was a significant work of architecture from the 1980’s but it was energy inefficient, did not meet current program requirements or museum standards, and the aesthetic was inconsistent with the values of the Metis people. The challenge was to meet the new building requirements, while maintaining the original heritage value of the facility.
