The NANA board of directors authorized the construction of 10 new NANA office buildings , one in each of our villages outside of Kotzebue . These prefabricated , modular buildings will each measure 1,536 square feet and will be built and installed over the next four years . Investing in our region , employees and shareholders is a board priority . The village office buildings each will feature two dedicated offices for NANA employees .
