Ryerson Alumni - 2018 Summer - 8

GOULD STREET

Located at 186 Jarvis St.,
the structure (named HOEM)
will include 593 rooms on 30
floors, with space available to
first- and upper-year students.
The residence offers fully
furnished suites (with kitchen,
living room, and single
bedrooms), plus amenities
throughout, including study
rooms, studio space, gym
facilities, and a yoga studio.

DID YOU
KNOW...

Alumni save 30 per
cent on a monthly
gym membership,
which includes
all group fitness
classes.

"We're really excited to
add not just space, but great
space," said Ian Crookshank,
director of housing and
residence life. "Many
first-year students are living
off-campus, so this is a
great chance for more students
to live on-campus with the
great supports that we
provide, in a state-of-theart building."

The building is the result
of a public-private
partnership between
Ryerson and the Canadian
Student Communities
Inc., who have covered all
construction/development
costs. HOEM will increase
available residential space
at the university by over
30 per cent.
Students can now apply
for living space at the new
residence for the 2018/19
school year.
URBAN ISSUES

Furnished suites and
amenities at the new
student residence.

Technology is meant to make
our lives easier. But at what
cost? The New York Times
profiled Toronto's proposed
waterfront redevelopment by
Alphabet, a parent company
of Google. Known as
Quayside, 12 acres of land
between east Bayfront
and Port Lands, it's being
planned as a tech-driven
neighbourhood that
collects data on everyone
who works, lives or passes
through. Sensors will collect
information on noise, air
pollution, commuter and
pedestrian traffic - all in an
effort to build a city that's
mixed-use, sustainable,
affordable and people-centred.
Pamela Robinson, urban and
regional planning professor,
says there's potential for the
data to exclude some citizens.
"The data might be used
to limit or discourage the
otherwise legal use of public
spaces by homeless people,
teenagers or other groups.
We don't want to create
what's effectively a gated
community," she said.
