PhD Student Part of Architecture/CIMS Lab Project to Help Transform Ex-Residential School
The Muskowekwan First Nation of Saskatchewan is generously acknowledging the role of Carleton University architecture students and professors in advancing its vision to convert a former residential school to a place of healing.
Notably, a digital model prepared by students will help guide the transformation of the vacant Muskowekwan Indian Residential School. Students have also explored possibilities for the adaptive re-use of the building, contributing to the refinement of objectives for the project. It is the last standing residential school in Saskatchewan and has since become a National Historic Site.
