St. Kateri Tekakwitha School & Chief Whitecap School
This facility has three components, two schools, Chief Whitecap School (Public School Division) and St. Kateri Tekakwitha School (Separate School Division), and a shared core/community centre. This school was built using a public-private partnership (P3) model to maximize savings and deliver the schools on-time and on-budget. The overall project, the Saskatchewan Joint-Use Schools Project (SJUSP), produced 18 schools on nine sites in four different cities, Martensville, Regina, Saskatoon, and Warman. The consultants, Ministry of Education, and the Joint Use Mutual Partnership (JUMP) consortium worked with five School Divisions on design build considerations.
The tour of Chief Whitecap School will focus on the cultural components within the school and throughout the site, including how the design supports the education partnership with Whitecap Dakota First Nation. The tour of St. Kateri Tekakwitha School will focus on the design and variety of learning environments.
Academic Health Sciences: E-Wing
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon
The Academic Health Sciences E-Wing project is organized around an integrated educational and research
model where seven Health Sciences colleges and schools work together collaboratively, sharing training,
academic, educational and dry-lab space. In today’s competitive post-secondary institution marketplace this
environment facilitates our future health professionals to train and work together in a progressive, top quality
team environment for advanced study.
As the architect for the Academic Health Sciences E-Wing project, Kindrachuk Agrey was challenged to
create a building within a constrained site that would respect the collegiate gothic architectural vocabulary
of the University while blending in modern elements, and be a model of sustainability that represents the
Health Sciences and University as a whole with its prominent academic gateway location.

Gordon Oakes
Buildings tell stories. They tell the stories of the people who
desire them, the people who pay for them, the people who
design them, the people who make them, and ultimately the
people who inhabit them. Buildings tell the stories of who we
are and who we desire to be. The Gordon Oakes Red Bear
Student Centre is stories of Indigenous knowledge, told in a
building, told in stone.
Beginning in 2007, the UofS hired the architectural team of
Douglas Cardinal Architect and RBM Architecture to design a
stand-alone building to house the Aboriginal Student Centre.
Then President Peter MacKinnon personally shepherded the
project forward, with the concept of bringing Indigenous
knowledge to the center of campus life.
The building was named after Gordon Oakes an Elder and
graduate of the UofS dedicated to education and welcoming to
all. He often spoke of culture and education as a team of horses,
needing both to succeed.
