Hi, I'm Tayler, and I'm the Writer and Content Creator at Humber College.
Humber College is a place where students from near and far, from all backgrounds, ages and experiences come to begin, or advance their careers.
It's where ambition drives success and where learning comes to life.
Over the last few years, the places and spaces for learning, community building and student success have continued to evolve.
Under the leadership of the Capital Development and Facilities Team,
progress has marched on and there is so much new to experience at Humber.
Let's take a tour.
One thing I love about Humber are all the well-equipped spaces for hands-on learning.
Carrier Drive is one of those amazing locations on campus.
Humber Centre for Trades and Technology takes you beyond the classroom.
In the coming years, Humber will continue to grow its portfolio of trades in the construction, industrial and service sectors.
The college is also investing in and expanding the available space for students to learn their trade in a simulated worksite.
Construction is underway on a 16,620-square-foot addition that will increase education
and training opportunities for approximately 500 students.
The new additions will include multipurpose labs and classrooms that will facilitate better delivery of hands-on and theoretical learning.
This means more tradespeople will be graduating from Humber
and will be out in the workforce, creating jobs and growing the economy in Ontario and beyond.
Welcome to Humber's Tech Zone.
Located at the North Campus,
the Tech Zone is your one-stop shop for all things tech.
Employees and students can visit the Tech Zone to receive support for their tech challenges,
learn about exciting technologies and find new solutions that will support their learning or teaching needs.
Further, in collaboration with Humber's faculties and the Centre for Innovative Learning,
The Tech Hub is a space to demonstrate innovation and inspire digital solutions to today's challenges.
The Tech Zone's Innovation Showcase is the perfect spot to show off Humber's talent and share innovative technologies.
And the team at the Tech Zone Service Hub is ready to help with all of your technical support needs.
With a student-supporting-students model, the Tech Zone recognizes the importance of work-integrated learning
and creates opportunities for Humber students to apply their classroom knowledge in the real world
as they work with our technicians to solve technical challenges and keep Humber updated with the latest technologies.
Looking for a place to reset and recharge?
Look no further than H205.
Humber's Open Learning Computer Lab and Lounge at North Campus was recently reimagined to best represent the Humber community.
Inspired by the natural environment around North Campus, like the Arboretum grounds
and the trails through the Humber River Valley, H205 breaks the mould of the traditional institutional look.
The space brings the outside world indoors, with large windows, flooring designed to look like grass and gravel pathways and a living wall.
The computer lab contains 38 stations plus five quick-use spaces, three enclosed collaborative rooms and one open collaborative space.
Cloud whiteboard tables create an open-air concept for group work, while two picnic tables and benches are sheltered
under an abstract canopy tree.
Also included is the Humber Orchard wellness area located directly under the abstract apple tree.
Spaces also include private individual zones, gaming zones, group areas and a private fireplace gathering space. To encourage disconnecting,
it also includes an area without technology.
It's an important place on campus for learners to come together to work, relax, focus or unwind.
Hi, I'm Roshan, a recent graduate of the Radio Broadcasting Program here at Humber.

When completed, the Humber Cultural Hub at the Lakeshore Campus will be a destination for arts and culture in West Toronto.
With 365,000 square feet of space and operating with zero carbon emissions,
the Cultural Hub will be one of the most sustainable developments in Canada.
The Cultural Hub will be the leading destination for arts and culture outside of downtown Toronto
and a gathering place for the Humber community.
There will be world-class technology-rich teaching and performance spaces, including a 500-seat performance
hall, a 140-seat recital hall and professional-quality music, film, TV, multimedia equipment and training facilities.
It will also serve as a living laboratory for instructing students in sustainable construction practices and efficient operation.
The Cultural Hub is the largest capital investment in Humber's history and represents the college's commitment
to infrastructure that supports an innovative, collaborative and welcoming campus.
One of the best parts about Humber, from my experience, has been the opportunity to meet students from around the world.
Located in the heart of downtown Toronto, the Humber International Graduate School, or Humber IGS,
brings students from around the world together to study and prepare for exciting careers.
It opened in 2021 and adds to the diverse make up of Toronto and Humber, with international graduate learners
working with business partners and industry professionals.
This location is designed as a learning hub
embedded directly into Toronto's urban environment, all within close proximity to the active financial and technology districts.
Integrated technology and digital services enable and enhance an intuitive campus experience.
State-of-the-art classroom technology supports collaboration, project-based learning and innovative teaching approaches
providing unique learning opportunities for students. Workstations and classrooms
have functional writable surfaces, facilitating group projects and more opportunities to interact with lessons.
Smart meeting rooms throughout are equipped with built-in conferencing
technology and smart screens to support teamwork and simulate the workplace of the future.
Hi, I'm Sylvie. I'm the Media Relations Specialist here at Humber College.
There are a few more spaces left to show you. Let's go check them out.
While there are so many cool spaces at Humber, this one gets my vote as one of the coolest.
The Idea Lab is a library initiative
that was launched in 2019 at the North Campus and is designed to support digital fluency at Humber College.
The Idea Lab has four components: studio spaces, workshops, online resources and one-on-one student supports. In the fall of 2022,
the Library and the Longo Centre For Entrepreneurship will open a new Idea Lab space at the Lakeshore Campus.
The Lakeshore Idea Lab will continue to support digital fluency by offering five new studios,
including a video and photography studio, two audio studios and two fabrication studios.
Building on the offerings at the North Campus, the Lakeshore Idea Lab will feature bookable laser and vinyl cutters, 3D printers,
video and photography cameras, microphones, audio/visual editing stations, sewing and knitting machines, studio lighting and much more.
The Idea Lab spaces, equipment and supports are not limited to any specific program.
They will be available to all members of the Humber and Guelph-Humber community.
As an employee at Humber,
I've noticed a constant evolution.
This is because of the incredible generosity of partners whose contributions allow Humber to grow.
One of the things that makes Humber special is its relationship with donors.
Their tremendous generosity makes a difference in the work we all do to advance the education, skills training, career
and personal developments of our students.
Thanks to Humber's community of supporters, the college surpassed its $50 million goal for its first-ever campaign called Unlimited.
for its first-ever fundraising campaign called Unlimited. Funds raised through the campaign support Humber's
ambition to ignite discovery and innovation, accelerate student potential and transform the learning experience.
In recognition of donors' generosity,
you will see donor-named spaces across the college.
One of the newest names you will see is the Longo Family's.
Thanks to a transformational gift of $5 million,
students now get to learn within the Longo Faculty of Business.
It's the first time in Humber College's history that a Faculty has been named.
The Longo Centre for Entrepreneurship is for everyone
who wants to explore the world of entrepreneurship and provides a space for people to meet, collaborate and create.
Located inside the Longo Centre of Entrepreneurship is the BMO Innovation Commons.
This event space is a gathering place for industry and students to come together and be inspired by the possibilities of entrepreneurial spirit.
In appreciation of our growing community of donors,
we have also refreshed Gratitude Hall at North Campus to continue to showcase the support that helps students
reach their unlimited potential.
There are many great spaces around Humber where students, employees and the community can gather and build connections,
and with more exciting places and spaces planned for the future,
there is a lot to look forward to.
