Humber Cultural Hub

Humber’s ongoing investment in the revitalization of the Lakeshore campus has resulted in one of the largest historic restorations in the city of Toronto. Our next phase of the revitalization is focused on the development of the Humber Cultural Hub. Unlike any space at any other Ontario college, the Humber Cultural Hub will replace the last outdated learning facility on the campus and create unprecedented access to the creative and performing arts for students and the local community.

Supporting Humber's Centres of Innovation also means supporting our growing applied research capabilities in each of these areas. By providing access to research facilities, student and faculty expertise, and funding opportunities, we can help industry and community partners develop outcome-driven solutions in a manner that will demonstrate Humber’s leadership in working with our external community. At the same time, faculty can take advantage of release time while students can supplement their in-class education with experiential hands-on learning that greatly expands their skill sets.
