MONTGOMERY SISAM ARCHITECTS - Shawenjigewining Hall at Ontario Tech University is a recently completed, four-storey, 110,000-square-foot academic and social hub at the campus designed by Montgomery Sisam Architects in joint venture with Architecture Counsel. The building offers a home away from home for Indigenous students, as well as a space for all students to connect and learn from Indigenous culture and resources.
“The building’s name, Shawenjigewining, meaning ‘The Kind Place’ in Anishinaabemowin, reflects the university’s commitment to cultural inclusivity,” Ling explained.The building serves as a mixed-use student hub, offering academic and social spaces. It accommodates the Faculty of Health Sciences, the Ontario Tech Student Union, the Office of Student Life and Continuous Learning programs.
“The building incorporates natural light, flexible study spaces, and a mix of quiet, focused areas alongside active social spaces,” Ling noted. “It features a high-performance building envelope with R-29 wall, R-45 roof insulation and triple-glazed windows,” he said. “The roof has a high albedo coating to minimize the heat-island effect. The building also incorporates photovoltaic panels, geothermal heating, daylight harvesting and low-flow fixtures to reduce energy and water consumption.”
