Lucinda House was originally built in 1838 and our project focused on the redevelopment of the two-floor, 2,200 square foot heritage home on Laurier’s Waterloo campus. This project required carefully planning and adaptive construction to build an addition on to the existing heritage building. The new addition features CLT mass timber framing installed by Dakon’s own forces. The enhanced space is part of Laurier’s efforts to eliminate barriers for Indigenous learners and create an environment where indigeneity is part of the core experience of all students, faculty and staff.
