North Campus Backfill Project
Communications Update

With many new buildings and spaces now in full use across the North Campus, we are pleased to report ongoing progress on our backfill projects.

As noted in a Communique from earlier this semester, the Humber Backfill Project is a two-year initiative that will reallocate approximately 146,000 square feet of space across 47 projects. The projects have been clustered into five contracts labeled A through E. Construction on Contract A is set to begin in December, with completion expected in August 2016.

Projects in Contract A include:

• Public Safety offices on the first floor of Building NX
• School of Applied Technology offices on the second to fifth floors of Building NX
• Fabrication/Maker Space lab, computer lab and classrooms in Building N
• Classrooms and Applied Technology project room and lab on the first two floors in Building J
• Classrooms, Liberal Arts & Sciences lab, COWD/Dual Credit/ETS offices on the second, third and fourth floors in Building H

Hoarding walls around the construction area are expected to be built in mid-December with demolition of the existing floors in Building NX to begin shortly afterwards. In an effort to minimize noise and disturbance to daily campus activity, debris removal will take place in the evening after 8 p.m.

The backfill projects are 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. Here are some artist’s renderings to give you a glimpse into the campus’s future.
