Centennial College

The Collective worked alongside DIALOG to design and furnish Centennial College’s A-Building 6 floors - 150,000 square feet office. This is the first mass timber, net-zero, WELL certified, LEED Gold Academic institution in Canada. The building’s form is inspired by Indigenous principles and the Mi’kmaq concept of two-eyed seeing (seeing through both an Indigenous lens and Western lens).


Completed in August 2023, we installed this project in a span of four months which includes many of Teknion’s product lines for Centennial College’s active learning classrooms, lecture halls, student lounges, faculty offices, and meeting rooms.


Red is a significant color in Indigenous practice that speaks to knowledge and is also incorporated as accent colors on furniture and in the tiles on the walls.


Our alignment with Centennial extends to the values we share, promoting growth and providing equal opportunities in a diverse and inclusive environment, building sustainability into all we do, and providing the highest service to our stakeholders.
