In 2016, Humber College launched its new Centre for Entrepreneurship housed within its historic Building “G” which had sat empty for over three decades, the heritage building was formally the Administration Building of the old Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital which was located on the property prior to Humber College acquiring it.

Working together with Moriyama & Teshima, The HIDI Group provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing communications and security, while lighting was provided by HIDI’s lighting division ALULA Lighting Design. The building features a state-of-the-art focus group room, a large boardroom with video conferencing facilities, a production lab, a media lab, flexible meeting rooms, office space, and a kitchen.

The project comprises a complete interior renovation, plus the addition of a large glass-walled multi-purpose event space on the building’s west side. Designed to foster research and innovation through entrepreneurship training and opportunities, this new facility is a collaboration amongst all eight academic schools within the college, various departments, and its centres of innovation.
