The major renovation project at Mount Royal Collegiate in Saskatoon highlights the integration of both high-school and post-secondary programs. The facility houses Mount Royal Collegiate, SIAST Saskatoon Ave W Campus, and the Saskatoon Trades & Skills Centre. Key areas of the building include a new fitness centre, renovated front administration offices for the Collegiate, renovated cooking teaching labs, upgraded classrooms and computer labs, a new shared library, a basic education centre, new administration offices for SIAST, and a new childcare centre designed to best practice methods. A major addition to the building was undertaken to accommodate a prominent cultural centre to provide cultural space for students of both MRCI and SIAST, as well as for the community. The centre was designed through a collaborative process with Elders, students, and staff to ensure the end result accurately represented Indigenous culture and values.
