More Information

The former Manitoba School for the Deaf, now part of the Canadian Mennonite University campus, is one of the province’s most impressive examples of Collegiate Gothic architecture. It was an innovative and expensive facility for its era, constructed by a government that was committed to addressing the needs of citizens, especially children. The site has been maintained continuously as a place of learning. The CMU campus contains many new buildings including Mapeck Commons by ft3 Architecture Landscape Interior Design.
