Odeyto Indigenous Centre is a purpose-built Indigenous student space on Seneca College's Newnham Campus in North York, Toronto, Canada. Odeyto provides a space where Indigenous students can feel safe and connected to their communities when away from home, while also rediscovering and practicing their traditions.Gow Hasting Architects (project team: Valerie Gow, Jim Burkitt, Graham Bolton, and Courtney Klein) designed the building in partnership with Two Row Architect, a native-owned firm from the Six Nations reserve in southern Ontario. Their collaboration not only embeds Indigenous knowledge into the design but is also created a significant contribution to Indigenous Architecture. Azure magazine wrote, "Odeyto pays more than lip service to the implementation of Native building practices, giving gorgeous physical form to an important – and long-neglected – aesthetic."
