The Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus is designed to advance the University of Toronto's mission of linking academic research and entrepreneurial endeavors. At a critical juncture between the university's campus, the historic Legislature Grounds, and the city's growing Discovery District, this 13-story building establishes a new gateway to Queen's Park along University Avenue and frames the heart of the University of Toronto's campus.
The 200,000-square-foot complex unites the University of Toronto Entrepreneurship (UTE) program, the University's Innovations and Partnerships Office (IPO), the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence (VIAI), and various startup companies and established corporate partners. Flexible loft-like offices, labs, classrooms, conference rooms, and event spaces are arranged along a vertical social circuit designed to facilitate evolving research requirements and future growth. Multi-story, light-filled, internal, public winter gardens are dispersed throughout the building and dissolve boundaries between research groups, creating conditions for chance encounters and conversations that spark innovation. A generous ground-floor plaza, activated by rain gardens and café seating, creates a welcoming, public frontage along College Street, while the exterior terraces of the winter gardens above offer expansive views of the Toronto skyline.
These public, outward-facing winter gardens inscribe the building's tapered massing, articulating a permeable building edge and establishing contextual datums connected to the surrounding buildings. Envisioned as a beacon for discovery and exploration, the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus supports the University of Toronto's aspiration to create a dynamic incubator for intellectual exchange and world-class research that connects to the public sector.
