Passionate about designing public amenities that bring communities together, Hemna strives to promote accessibility for citizens while supporting the people that keep our neighborhoods safe. Clients such as the Calgary Police Service, Edmonton Police Service, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police have relied on her to deliver detachments, police headquarters, evidence warehouses, forensics labs, gun ranges, courthouses, corrections facilities, and training facilities.
Hemna leads our integrated team of designers, engineers, and technologists to bring her client’s vision to reality. Throughout planning, design, and construction administration, she advocates and facilitates an open, collaborative approach in all phases of project development.
Whatever the project that she’s working on, Hemna promotes best practices in public safety design. Most recently, she published a white paper that details how to design safe mechanical systems for gun ranges in the American Institute of Architecture’s (AIA) Justice Journal.
