Explore ProjectMistawasis Chief and Council innovated their way to bring a new high school to their community in record time, without compromising comfort and quality. 3twenty was a key part of their success story.
Project Summary
For decades, Mistawasis Nêhiyawak bused students to a nearby public school. Community leadership and members wanted to bring their children back home. While school approvals and construction often take years, Mistawasis Chief and Council took an innovative approach. As a result, the community delivered a new high school in just eight months.
In early 2018, Mistawasis and 3twenty signed a contract to design and construct a new high school. The facility needed to accommodate 150 students in grades nine through twelve. By the fall of that year, Mistawasis welcomed its first intake of students. The high school meets the building and technology standards found in new urban schools. It includes four classrooms and two flexible teaching spaces. These areas support STEM-focused learning. The school also features a full commercial kitchen and a cafeteria space for students and community members.
