With the completion of the North Campus’s Learning Resource Commons and F Wing addition, work has now begun that will ensure that the vacated spaces are used to their maximum potential.

The Humber Backfill Project is a two-year initiative that will reallocate approximately 100,000 square feet of space across 47 projects. It represents a significant opportunity to meet the growing needs of the North Campus, providing new labs, classrooms and office space for Humber’s students, staff and faculty.

Allocation of space was based on five key institutional priorities:

1. Maintain the same ratio of space-per-student as currently achieved
2. Give priority to instructional space
3. Give priority to spaces that support the college’s Academic Plan
4. Relocate West mall functions to the North Campus and cluster all ITS services
5. Relocate other services and function off campus if required

Space reallocation is divided as follows:

See below for a timetable of planned backfill activities.
