This project was delivered utilizing the design-build delivery method, fostering seamless collaboration, accelerated timelines, and unified accountability from conception through completion. Rolluda Architects served as Prime Architect, partnering with Jones & Jones to create a culturally responsive facility for Native students, Coast Salish Tribal nations, and the broader community. Developed through extensive collaboration with Tribal representatives, Native student organizations, university leadership, and community stakeholders, the project embodies a shared vision of healing, learning, and connection.

​

The facility includes a gathering hall, teaching kitchen, student support spaces, outdoor gathering areas, native plant gardens, and outdoor learning environments. Indigenous design guidance and Coast Salish principles are woven throughout, creating a welcoming space that honors tradition while supporting contemporary needs. Designed as a lasting community asset, the House of Healing advances ambitious sustainability goals through net-zero carbon targets, low-impact site strategies, locally sourced materials, and participation by Native-owned and MWBE firms.

​

The project reflects our commitment to delivering culturally grounded, community-centered environments that support belonging, wellness, and cultural continuity for generations to come.
