This building was my immediate favourite upon my arrival to Alaska. After deciding to read up on it, I found the following information; " Many of CAIHC’s(Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center) approximately 15,000 patients must travel great distances to visit. The clinic is larger than any space in many of their small villages, so all entry points are low and non-intimidating to make visitors feel welcomed. The building’s flowing form — with clinics adjacent to the river and an exterior landscaping river bed — also provide a culturally familiar aesthetic. Its circular shape, designed to resemble a woven basket, emphasizes the Native way of life and connecting people in spirit. At the center of the gathering area lies a round made of stone and metal inlay that signifies the circle of life and cyclical nature of the seasons. It includes compass directions and seasonal elements of a subsistence lifestyle: trapping, berry picking, moose hunting, fishing and whaling. Smaller waiting rooms, all with southern exposure and views, allow for more intimate gatherings.

Additionally, design elements were incorporated to make clinic visits more comfortable and safe during extreme weather: canopies cover drop-off areas and straight pathways lead between parking and the front entry, and a fireplace burns in the lobby as symbol of warmth. The sinuous shape of the building maximizes daylighting and minimizes shadows, and the curving façade captures as much sunlight as possible — an absolute necessity in a place that sees only 4-5 hours of sunlight per day during winter months. "
*Athabascans are the natives of Interior Alaska.

Congratulations! That is really exciting.
