Centennial College

Centennial College Exterior
  • Location: Scarborough, ON
  • Architect: DIALOG
  • Industry: Education

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).

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.
