A year after opening its doors, Ontario Tech University's iconic new building is the winner of a City of Oshawa Urban Design Award.

Formally named during a sacred Indigenous ceremony on June 29, 2021, the five-storey, 10,200 square metre (110,000 square foot) Shawenjigewining Hall at Ontario Tech's north Oshawa campus location serves as a bold new gateway to the university, adjacent to the Energy Research Centre and Campus Library.
