Conestoga College has unveiled two classrooms with Indigenous themes to enhance student learning experiences. This renovation project has transformed existing classrooms into culturally inspired spaces at the Doon campus in Kitchener and the new Conestoga Skilled Trades Campus in Cambridge. These classrooms provide students with an inclusive and culturally rich educational setting.
 
One standout feature is the intricately detailed circular wood ceiling, which incorporates the four colors representing the cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West. Additionally, the classrooms are equipped with state-of-the-art exhaust systems to accommodate traditional smudging ceremonies, ensuring that Indigenous practices are honored and reflected.
