Shell JackPine Mine Albian Sands Site
Fort McMurray, Alberta

Located in the remote wilderness just outside of Fort McMurray the new 80,500 square-foot Shell Canada AOSP Jackpine Administration building stands as a testament to the changing face of the region and industry for which it was built. This landmark building for Shell is the antithesis of the institutionalized nomadic culture traditionally accepted in a region known for the oil sands and booming economy. By bringing a sense of permanence and focusing on a high quality environment for its employees the building reflects the desire to create an atmosphere designed to enrich, attract and retain workers and create a place that is more than just an environment in an industrial setting.
