But the real measure of this space will be the students and staff who gather, heal and thrive every day in a space that achieves net-zero performance and whose design is rooted in the community it was built to serve.”This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.“We’re incredibly proud to see the Seneca Health and Wellness Centre recognized with four Gold Awards at the Grands Prix du Design,” said Erik Skouris, Studio Director and Architect, Two Row Architect. “The project reflects an approach to wellness that recognizes the important relationship between community, culture, and place — principles that are deeply rooted in Indigenous ways of understanding health and wellbeing.
