faculty, staff, and research-related infrastructure provides a strong basis for Humber‟s evolving
research enterprise that will position the institute as a leader in applied innovation and research
within Canada.
Library Collections – To support the requirements of degree students and faculty, Humber has
invested $7,564,730 in expanding library collections over the past 12 years. Working in
collaboration with faculty, the librarians identify key new resources.
The Lakeshore Library was renovated and now has more capacity to handle larger print
collections. There are also more student computers and increased study space. The total
square footage is 15,580. Student seating now totals 219. Student computers number 30, and
there is wireless Internet capacity throughout the Library. Lakeshore's newer features include
three individual DVD/video viewing stations, five group study rooms (all five have computers,
three have high-end computer/multimedia equipment), an adaptive technology room, and a
multipurpose library instruction/quiet study room. The Library is open seven days a week during
the fall and winter semesters.
Facilities - Humber is committed to providing quality facilities to our students and continues to
acquire new property, renovate and build. The Humber Lakeshore campus, which houses most
of Humber‟s degrees, has undergone significant expansion and classroom facilities have been
enhanced. Some recent examples include the following:
conversion of a Mercedes dealership (3120 Lake Shore Blvd. W) into the Centre for
Justice Leadership. This facility contains classrooms, a forensic studio and simulated
crime scenes, including a mock crime scene apartment. As well there are mock interview
rooms complete with an overhead viewing theatre to allow an entire class to observe
and critique interviews.
recent long term lease (99 years) and conversion of the Lions Hockey Arena. This ten
million dollar plus renovation produced the Humber Arts and Media Studios, the new
home for Creative and Performing Arts programs including Theatre, Comedy, and Acting
for Film and T.V. Specialty facilities include rehearsal studios, a comedy cabaret, prop
and scene building shops, and a 100 seat Black Box Theatre. This facility also houses
two new film studios (2,600 square feet each) for the new degree program in Film and
Media Production. As well, a gymnasium to be shared with the community provides
additional recreational space for students.
purchase of a building at the corner of Lake Shore Blvd. and Kipling Avenue which was
renovated to house the Fashion Institute, a key component of the Fashion Management
degree. This two storey structure includes a 66 seat classroom, 36 seat computer lab,
display areas and display windows, a meeting room, student lounge and faculty offices.
purchase of the Medical Arts Building at 3170 Lake Shore Blvd. W. This building has
some long term leases, and these tenants are being relocated to the ground floor freeing
the upper two floors for academic use. For fall, 2011 a play therapy lab for the Child and
Youth Care degree will be constructed. As other degrees are added, this building will
house a variety of special purpose labs and studios.
building L on the East campus is now fully operational having opened in fall, 2011 and
replaces a smaller older building which housed programs relocated to the Humber Arts
and Media Studios. This four-storey, 100,000 square foot building represents an
investment in excess of $55 million. In addition to specialized academic space, this
building provides extensive formal and informal space for study and student interaction.
