The new facility for Hardin Academy in Hardin, Montana, brings together students, administration, and a health and wellness team in a secure, supportive environment. At the heart of the building is a central family room, surrounded by learning spaces, a kitchen, presentation area and collaboration rooms. A shed roof shelters this hub and connects to covered outdoor spaces. The exterior is clad in white fiber cement panels, symbolizing peace and purity in honor of Native American culture. The design team worked closely with tribal representatives to incorporate culturally respectful elements.
