Mohawk College in Ontario, Canada is a public college of Applied Arts and Technology with three campuses serving about 12,000 full-time and 46,000 continuing education students.

IBI Group developed a Renewal Plan for Mohawk’s Fennel Campus in Hamilton that will serve as a guide for the college’s future built forms and open spaces.

The plan’s focus on quality, innovation and sustainability is reflected in the Centre for Entrepreneurship, Learning and Innovation where high-efficiency, high-performance Hi-Glo LED pedestrian lights from the Metro40 Collection contributed to the LEED Gold certification for the building and landscapes.
