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
Mistawasis Nêhiyawak had been busing their kids to a nearby public school for decades. Leadership and community members wanted to bring their kids back home. It normally takes years to receive approval for and to build most schools, but thanks to Mistawasis Chief and Council’s innovative approach, they were able to bring a new high school to the community in eight months!
In early 2018, Mistawasis and 3twenty signed a contract to proceed with the design and construction of a new high school that needed to accommodate 150 students in grades nine to twelve. By fall that year, Mistawasis welcomed their first intake of students. The high school was designed to meet the building and technological standards of new high schools in urban centres. The school has four classrooms and two additional flexible teaching spaces that are used primarily for STEM curriculum. The school is also equipped with a full commercial kitchen and cafeteria space for students and community members.
