First Nations Technical Institute New Academic & Administrative Facility
This project involves the development of a new two-storey academic and administrative building.
The new facility will accompany the existing aviation school at the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory near Belleville, Ontario.
It will allow the school to increase its capacity, enhance the student experience, and advance First Nations-specific research in Indigenous food sovereignty, community development, environmental sustainability, and social entrepreneurship, among others.
