百年理工學院是安大略省的第一所最大規模的公立學院之一，是與DIALOG, Smoke Architecture和EllisDon合作設計，并建造了這個國家的第一座零碳，木質高教建筑。新門戶計劃于2023年完工，將在形式和功能上把本土和西方文化融合在一起。

Centennial College, Ontario s first public college, has collaborated with DIALOG, Smoke Architecture, and EllisDon to design and build the first zero-carbon, mass timber higher-education building in the country. Scheduled for completion in 2023, the new gateway structure will bring together Indigenous and Western cultures in both form and function.

我們希望為未來的高教項目提高標準[……]在百年理工學院，我們將可持續性、包容性和獨特性視為完全相互關聯的理念，并且希望建造一座能夠展示這種重要關系的建筑。——Craig Stephenson，百年理工學院的校長兼CEO。

We wanted to raise the bar for future post-secondary projects […] At Centennial we view sustainability, inclusivity and Indigeneity as wholly interconnected ideas and we wanted a building that demonstrates that crucial relationship. -- Craig Stephenson, President and CEO, Centennial College.

DIALOG是一所綜合性的、多專業設計實踐的建筑事務所，而Smoke Architecture是一個專注于第一原住民和本土項目的工作室，其方法基于“雙眼觀察”的概念，該概念通過本土和西方知識的視角來觀察世界。

A校區耗資1.05億美元進行擴建，彰顯了學院對真理與和解的承諾，也體現了學院所推崇的可持續價值觀。

DIALOG, an integrated, multidisciplinary design practice and Smoke Architecture, a studio that focuses on First Nation and Indigenous projects, based their approach on the concept of “two-eyed seeing”, which is viewing the world through the lens of Indigenous and western knowledge. Highlighting the College’s commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, the $105-million expansion of the A Block also represents the sustainable values praised by the institution.

該項目將清楚地展示高教設施如何通過消除二氧化碳排放為減少環境危害做出重要貢獻。其零碳排放設計，以及在其可持續采伐的大量木材結構中儲存數千噸碳的能力，將成為加拿大乃至全球的重要先例。——Craig Applegath, DIALOG項目負責人。

This project will be a clear demonstration of how higher-education facilities can make an important contribution to reducing environmental harm by eliminating CO2 emissions. Its zero-carbon emissions design, and its ability to store thousands of tonnes of carbon in its sustainably harvested mass timber wood structure, will be an important precedent in both Canada and around the world. -- Craig Applegath, Project Principal, DIALOG.

根據學院的可持續發展愿景，該項目將使用工程木產品代替鋼或混凝土來創建建筑結構，該項目將成為多倫多建成的第一座大規模木質設施。

該項目在沒有增加更多碳足跡的情況下，創造了超過15萬平方英尺的新區域和翻新區域，提供了新的學術空間，擁有靈活的教室，支持積極的學習和本土的教學方式。

實際上，擴建項目包括工程技術和應用科學學院(SETAS)項目的新實驗室，以及用于協作和社交的眾多非正式場所。

Using engineered wood products to create building structures instead of steel or concrete, in line with the sustainable vision of the college, the project is set to become the first post-secondary mass timber facility completed in Toronto. Creating over 150,000 square feet of new and renovated areas, without adding more carbon footprint, the project offers new academic spaces with flexible classrooms that support active learning and Indigenous ways of teaching and being. In fact, the expansion includes new labs for the School of Engineering Technology and Applied Science (SETAS) program and numerous informal spaces for collaboration and socialization.

這個項目的發展超越了將本土元素應用到主流設計中。這種設計根植于當地環境中的本土原則，該建筑的敘述是一個關于種子、成長、頂點和平衡的故事，在一個相互聯系的世界的周期性觀點中揭示了七個方面的教學。——Smoke Architecture。

This project grows beyond the simplistic application of Indigenous elements onto a mainstream design. This design is rooted in Indigenous principles, evoked in a contemporary setting. The building’s narrative is a story of seed, growth, culmination, and balance, revealing the seven directions teachings in a cyclical view of an interconnected world. -- Eladia Smoke, Principal of Smoke Architecture.

受Anishinaabe區域建筑的啟發，學生們將從東側進入一個活躍的多層融合空間。該項目圍繞著一個開放的本土公共用地，形成了一個中央庭院，種植著當地的植物，重新詮釋了本土社區、生物友好性和可持續性的概念。

Inspired by regional Anishinaabe architecture, students will enter the building from the east into an active multi-story space of convergence. Revolving around an Indigenous Commons that opens up into a central courtyard with native plantings, the project reinterprets Indigenous concepts of community, biophilia, and sustainability.

EllisDon公司的木材專家熱切期待與百年理工學院以及我們在DIALOG和Smoke Architecture的設計合作伙伴緊密合作，以創造這一先例的項目。

百年理工學院的擴建項目為我們提供了一個絕佳的機會來建造可持續的建筑，這建筑不僅功能齊全，而且更重要的是能夠立即應對氣候變化帶來的嚴峻挑戰。——Geoff Smith，EllisDon公司的CEO。

EllisDon’s mass timber specialists eagerly anticipate working closely with Centennial College and our design partners at DIALOG and Smoke Architecture to create this precedent-setting project. Centennial College’s A Block [expansion] project delivers us all the wonderful opportunity to construct sustainable structures that are not only beautifully functional, but more importantly help immediately address the critical challenges posed by climate change. -- Geoff Smith, CEO, EllisDon.
