D E C E M B E R 2 0 2 3 | 57 Pembina Trails Collegiate floods these spaces through abun- dant use of glass, expansive volumes, an open three-storey central stair, and movable walls. The warm, invit- ing, quiet palette of materials include wood ceilings, grounding dark neu- tral tones, and high contrast white, punctuated by select bursts of vibrant colour and texture. The students themselves become the dynamic ele- ment in the space," she says. Having opened its doors in September, it's fair to say that Pembina Trails Collegiate stands out as truly unique, not only because it is an integral part of this growing commu- nity, but because it unfolded amidst the bustling activity of construction for the adjacent elementary school. Despite the potential challenges, all teams involved collaborated seam- lessly. Boles commends the teams on both projects, stating, "I've really come to appreciate the role of the archi- tects and general contractors in terms of how they were able to work within the confines of a publicly financed building and still do amazing things, making it visually interesting and functional at the same time." Pembina Trails Collegiate has not only transformed the educational landscape in Winnipeg but has become a source of pride for the entire com- munity. Preun reflects, "It's a beautiful school, and we're all proud to have helped bring it to life." Boles echoes the sentiment: "Staff is thrilled, stu- dents are thrilled, parents are thrilled. There's something electric about being part of something new. Both this building and the adjacent Bison Run School give us the opportunity to build culture together."
