Creating a Sense of Arrival: Conestoga College Welcome Centre

First impressions matter. At Conestoga College’s Doon Campus, we created a modest, curved, welcoming entrance and attached it to 21,500 square feet of space we repurposed from a maze of offices. The result is a bright, easily navigable, and accessible Welcome Centre.

Recruitment, registrar services, meeting rooms, and technology-enabled spaces now gather around a new entry hall. Daylight and views connect the interior to the landscape. Students and families can see where to go—and feel that they have arrived.
