First Nation Health Authority Metro Vancouver Office

The facility plan for the First Nations Health Authority’s Metro Vancouver Office creates a permanent, culturally respectful workspace that integrates cultural values and supports efficient staff workflows.

The First Nations Health Authority’s (FNHA) administrative facilities in Metro Vancouver are vital to the organization’s service delivery and governance. Inform Planning successfully guided the Metro Vancouver Office Project (MVOP) from vision to a Class D cost estimate, demonstrating expertise in managing complex user groups and preparing functional programs.

These offices house the senior executive team and the majority of staff supporting FNHA departments. Currently distributed across several sites in Downtown Vancouver, the offices are located on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations.

The Metro Vancouver Office Project (MVOP) reflects FNHA’s vision, as embodied by the Takaya Office: Welcoming – Inspiring Wellness, Sustainability, and Excellence.
