This year’s Humber Liberal Arts @IFOA conference, “Truth, Lies, and Manufacturing Memory,” was a tremendous success! At the end of October, we had 80 presenters from across the globe descend on Toronto for two days of academic events including dynamic panels and a thoughtful keynote with Pulitzer prize-winning author Chris Hedges. The keynote, “The Price of Truth in Journalism,” broke all previous attendance records. Many Humber faculty and students were able to attend, but if you missed it we have uploaded the full lecture to youtube thanks to the efforts of Sara Laux. See it here: youtube.com/watch?v=V36dzXoqguw
We would like to thank all of our presenters and the entire IFOA team. From LAS we would like to especially thank Dean Paula Gouveia, Arl Viaje, Adriana Deluca, and Elena Tran. We would also like to thank the following dedicated faculty for their assistance in moderating the many diverse panels: Aileen Herman, Alena Papayanis, Alexander Shvarts, Barb Morris, Blake Lambert, Chris Irwin, Dean Glover, Doug Wright, Eufemia Fantetti, Jeoff Bull, Mark Whale, Nathan Radke, Prasad Bidaye, Tyler Shipley, and Wendy O’Brien.
We look forward to next year’s conference on Social Justice and hope it will be just as engaging. If you would like to help us in the planning stages for next year's conference please do not hesitate to contact the Co-Chairs Daniel.Hambly@humber.ca or Jennifer.Marotta@humber.ca.

The Office of Sustainability is pleased to announce the LRC has received a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold Certification from the Canada Green Building Council.
The many sustainability features of the building include:
Roof
- A 100 kW photo voltaic (PV) array is located on the building’s roof. The PV system ties directly into the building’s electrical distribution system, which is used to supplement power being drawn from the local utility grid to serve the building.
- The remaining usable roof space is vegetated (947m2)
Water
- Low flow and sensored fixtures are installed throughout the building, resulting in the building using 43.48% less water than the baseline building. That is saving 8,200 L of water per day.
- Drought resistant landscaping requires no irrigation
Indoor Environmental Quality
- Low VOC materials (paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants) were used in building construction
- All flooring systems in the building comply with the following standards as applicable:
- FloorScore
- GreenGuard
- Green Label Plus
- Low-mercury lamps used in all lighting fixtures
- Complies with ASHRAE 55 Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy
Energy Efficiency
- Building uses 36% (+7% renewable energy) less energy than the reference building. This equates to 7,066,686 MJ saved each year.
- Occupancy sensors are located throughout the building to reduce power consumption.
Recycled and Regional Materials
- 20% recycled content in building construction materials. Top contributors (by cost):
- Rebar
- Carpet tile
- Aluminum
- Concrete
- Steel
- 43% of construction materials were sourced locally (within 800 km)
- 94% of construction waste was diverted from landfills
A video tour of the LRC’s sustainability features is available on Humber’s YouTube channel.
