In Prince George, British Columbia, industries like forestry, mining, farming, and tourism thrive. Home to the College of New Caledonia (CNC), the city is located in a rugged, resource-rich region of northern Canada, where heavy machinery and vehicles—such as bulldozers, excavators, and semi-trailer trucks—are vital to the economy and daily life. Designed by the Office of McFarlane Biggar Architects + Designers (OMB), a recently completed, LEED Gold building on the CNC campus provides a hardy but elegant setting in which students of all ages and walks of life can learn how to service and maintain the sophisticated equipment that makes life possible in the far reaches of the continent.
