The Humber Cultural Hub will be home to Humber’s award-winning music, creative arts and media production programs and will enable Humber’s students to realize their full potential.
Humber Music is a system of music education that has consistently produced many of the most successful commercial and jazz musicians in Canada and the world. Humber’s capacity to expand programs and enrolment to support Canada’s thriving screen-based and animation industry and meet the burgeoning demand for skilled talent will be amplified through the Cultural Hub.
The Humber Cultural Hub will create new opportunities for Humber to enhance program quality and student experience by incorporating purpose-built facilities and technologies to support excellence in education, attracting top talent and expanding our focus on performance-based, student-centred learning.
Creating state-of-the-art performance and production spaces and outfitting them with professional-quality equipment will elevate the quality and range of academic programming and creative content development at Humber.
The Cultural Hub will serve as the backdrop to nurture and showcase Humber’s talented students in music, film and media production, acting, and technical production, and create opportunities for research and multidisciplinary project-based learning involving AR/VR/XR, and user experience. The Multidisciplinary Performance Hall will feature immersive video and audio technologies to create unique audience experiences that include esports tournaments, as well as supporting broader programming within Humber Polytechnic and the community.
Leveraging the Cultural Hub’s advanced technologies and systems, Humber will be able to further expand creative programming and services to remote, underserved communities in Canada and abroad through digital platforms and collaborative networks.
