Modernizing Educational Spaces

At the heart of the campus are new facilities established through CHW’s support, including the Roslyn Joseph Auditorium and the Marilyn Libin and Jed Gaines Fab Lab and Learning Centre.

The CHW Roslyn Joseph Auditorium provides a much-needed gathering space for large lectures, assemblies, and conferences, and seats close to 150 people. Since the pandemic began, the Auditorium has provided the college with additional space to safely continue in-person classes in small capsule groups, in addition to staff meetings.

The Marilyn Libin and Jed Gaines Fab Lab has been a game-changer for students pursing innovative and creative design fields. The Fab Lab offers a cutting-edge and innovative learning environment where students can experiment and design modern solutions for future needs. Highly qualified instructors and industry leaders provide the theoretical and practical skills students need to become leaders in their chosen career path.

The Fab Lab also opened a world of exciting opportunities for students who can now innovate and hone their design thinking and skills with the most advanced technologies. Students have benefited from seeing their design concepts, developed virtually, come to life using 3D software. A special curriculum was developed whereby students from various departments are trained to use all equipment safely and professionally.
