As the new main entrance to Humber’s North Campus in Etobicoke, the Humber College Learning Resource Commons will serve as an inviting new home for student support, learning and socializing at Humber. The six-storey, 260,000 square-foot facility will include a new library, act as a centralized hub for student services and provide space for Humber’s School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and college administration. While some parts of the complex will be open to students 24/7, others require more restricted access. The building’s design strikes a balance between expansive, lively spaces that serve the full school community and more secluded areas for faculty and administration.
The first floor Welcome Centre and Showcase area will feature floor-to-ceiling glass, connecting the vibrant open space to the promenade outside and inviting those passing by to come in and see the student work on display in the Commons gallery area. The first floor also offers students easy access to a café and various support services. A six-storey Atrium carves into the building mass to create an open space where various programs are visually linked. From the ground floor, a dramatic feature staircase winds upwards through the bright Atrium space and encourages foot traffic.
Humber’s new library will occupy the building’s third and fourth floors and is designed to celebrate both the latest technology and the increasingly social role of a school library. While more than half of the library will be dedicated to group and interactive learning spaces, the space still features many spots for those looking to learn in a quiet study corner. Humber’s School of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty and college administration will find their own quiet office space on the building’s top two floors.
