Take a look at Gzowski College – Trent’s newest college on the East Bank!

Opened to students in 2004 Peter Gzowski College follows the tradition of honoring Indigenous Studies at Trent combining that tradition with the surrounding community. Made up of a collection of dedicated and passionate students Gzowski College is a place meant to unite the community’s roots with the new members who will define it’s future. 

The colours of the building are derived from the four colours of a medicine wheel:  yellow, red, black and white.  The design team used the vision statement developed by the First Peoples House design honouring the land, creating a respectful community and acting as a beacon.  The ground floor of the building is open to create a sense of sitting gently on the land. 

Our College is named after Peter Gzowski, a Canadian journalist and broadcaster who made his living engaging in dialogue about Canada.  Students at Gzowski College also pursue their passion in the same way their college namesake followed his passion about Canada, its culture, the north, the Aboriginal people and the environment.

Say hello to BAMM the Moose!   He is our College Mascot and can be seen strolling the hallways during student celebrations.  His picture is painted on the RED doors of the Gzowski Cabinet Office in the Atrium. 

Check out www.trentriversiderailjam.ca for a VERY popular Gzowski Cabinet event taking place in spring 2011!

The Atrium (lower level of Gzowski with the "Red Lights") is open to students to sit and study, grab a bite, and check out the latest in Gzowski news. It’s also where you’ll find most of the classrooms as well as the First People’s House of Learning.

Get excited about living at Gzowski! This college residence comes with double beds and elevators. Travel up and down the college in style, and did we mention the view? The rooms from Gzowksi offer one of the best vantage points for taking in the scenery of Trent’s beautiful campus.
