Humber College, Lakeshore Campus

Location:
Toronto, Ontario
The Humber College Campus was originally constructed in the late 19th century as an psychiatric hospital. Renovated
into a contemporary campus for over
4000 students, the large scale institution has been a success in reusing the
original structure, while retaining its
historic significance.
During the renovation process, restoration and reconstruction of eleven historic cottages were rebuilt and 200,000
square feet of building interiors were
transformed into electronic lecture
halls, libraries, offices and food service
areas for the campus program users.
