Architectural Quality. Long-Term Value. Built for Innovation and Impact.
University campuses are hubs of learning, research, and community. They require spaces that are secure, flexible, and inspiring—where design supports academic excellence and modern performance standards. At Centennial Glass, we partner with universities and academic institutions across Ottawa to deliver architectural-grade glass systems for new construction, renovations, and deferred maintenance projects. Whether for a science complex, residence tower, library, or student centre, we fabricate and install glass solutions built for the demands of post-secondary life.
