Exemplary Indigenous Spaces

We identified thirty exemplary Indigenous spaces at university campuses across North America and Australia. These spaces were chosen as exemplary based on four elements: their design, their project intention, what the space offers users and their process of consultation

In order to improve our understanding of these space鈥檚 creation and consultation process, we interviewed representatives from 10 of our 30 university exemplars including:

  • John Abbott College
  • 听Okanagan College
  • South Dakota State University
  • University of Alberta
  • University of British Columbia
  • University of Saskatchewan
  • 听University of Victoria
  • University of Waterloo
  • Western Sydney University
  • Western Washington University

These are overarching themes that appeared across the interviews

Multi-cultural representation, follow-up & follow through, Indigenous hires, user centred design, self- governing, intention and protocol were the overarching themes across interviews
