Two new buildings that changed Trents landscape Trent Master #architect Ron Thom’s #design was meant to be modular to allow for #growth. In 2004, this growth included two new prominent buildings – the Chemical Science building, winner of a Governor General’s medal, and Enweying, the Peter Gzowski College and First People’s House of Learning. The iconic roofs of both buildings were designed as #green spaces used both for #research on the effects of ground level #ozone on crops, and for growing vegetables and herbs that are harvested and used in food production in the campus’s Seasoned Spoon Café. “For me, Gzowski College and the building, Enweying, represent the best of Trent. We have the geography (great views of the Otonabee River), the architecture (a building designed to honour the land and to encourage collaborative partnerships) and the history (we share the building with the First Peoples House of Learning and we’re named after Peter Gzowski, a Canadian icon and a past Trent Chancellor).” – Dr. Melanie Buddle, History department. #trentu50 trentu.ca/fiftyreunion/overview.php
