Inside Centennial College\u2019s New, Zeo-Carbon Addition<\/h1>\n\n\n

2024 Best of Year Winner for Larger Higher Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A mass-timber, zero-carbon structure, the 133,000-square-foot, six-story addition to Centennial College\u2019s School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science in Scarborough, Canada, comprises of flexible classrooms, collaborative spaces, administrative offices, a caf\u00e9, and a courtyard that\u2019s also an outdoor classroom. A-Building, by Dialog<\/a> and Smoke Architecture<\/a>, integrates Indigenous principles and cultural markers with a contemporary aesthetic, an ethos reflected in such elements as the Wisdom Hall, a central atrium with bleacher seating enriched by artwork on wooden ceiling baffles evoking traditional Ojibwa canoe paddles; the Indigenous Commons, a domed, circular space for gathering and ceremony, embodying the principles of Anishinabe roundhouse design; and an exterior cladding of aluminum \u201cfish scales\u201d that suggests animal skin and gives the sense that the building itself is alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
