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:
- Maintain the same ratio of space-per-student as currently achieved
- Give priority to instructional space
- Give priority to spaces that support the college’s Academic Plan
- Relocate West mall functions to the North Campus and cluster all ITS services
- Relocate other services and function off campus if required
Space reallocation is divided as follows:
New classroom facilities |
10,312 SF |
Existing classrooms and PC labs relocated |
13,330 SF |
New lab facilities |
22,800 SF |
Existing lab facilities relocated |
10,929 SF |
Academic offices expanded or relocated |
61,411 SF |
Student engagement and administrative offices expanded or relocated |
22,500 SF |
College services and campus support |
2,659 SF |
Allocation deferred until Academic Plan and/or Campus Development Plan are in place |
5,952 SF |
Unallocated space (deferred pending Academic Plan and Campus Development Plan) |
24,000 SF |
See below for a timetable of planned backfill activities.
