Durable. Adaptable. Built for Learning and Longevity.

Colleges are dynamic environments—shaped by evolving student needs, progressive design trends, and stringent safety standards. At Centennial Glass, we provide custom glass fabrication and installation services for colleges and technical institutes across Ottawa, supporting new builds, facility upgrades, and space reconfigurations. Whether you’re retrofitting classrooms, upgrading science labs, or adding daylight to study zones, we deliver code-compliant glass systems built for daily use and long-term performance.

Glass Systems That Support Education, Safety & Flexibility

We design and install commercial-grade glass for:

  • Academic buildings and lecture halls
  • Libraries, study lounges, and common areas
  • Student residences and dormitories
  • Fitness centres and recreational buildings
  • Dining halls, atriums, and student unions
  • Innovation hubs, labs, and design studios

Our glass systems balance visual openness, acoustic separation, and safety, allowing each space to evolve with learning and building standards.

Interior Partitions & Academic Space Dividers

Modern colleges prioritize collaboration, transparency, and flexible use of space. We help achieve that with:

  • Glass partitions for classrooms, breakout rooms, and lounges
  • Writable glass boards and walls for active learning environments
  • Frosted and acoustic panels for focus zones or private offices
  • Glass railings for stairwells, mezzanines, and open atriums
  • Frameless glass entries for lecture halls and labs

Our systems are durable, cleanable, and compatible with both modern and traditional construction.
