School of Performance finds new home at SLC
The Ryerson School of Performance has moved into a new home at the Student Learning Centre (SLC).
The school, which formerly operated at 44 Gerrard St. E., transitioned to the SLC’s lower levels last fall. “The move has been something that has been advocated for many, many years,” said Peggy Shannon, chair of the school.
“We’re all excited at having new studios, state-of-the-art equipment, and a box office and theatre on Yonge Street,” Shannon said.
The space at 44 Gerrard St. E. has been slated for construction, and will become the future home of the Centre for Urban Innovation. Its renovation will include a new lab and fabrication space.
A multi-functional hub in the city
Last fall, Ryerson installed illustrated hoarding around the construction site of the Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex at Dundas and Church Streets. Students from residence and the Faculty of Community Services coloured a section of the illustration.
Ryerson’s new Daphne Cockwell Health Sciences Complex is a multi-functional building that will house academic space, administrative offices, student accommodations and more. It is scheduled to open in fall 2018.
The 18-storey building will accommodate 332 students in 100 residential units and the academic and administrative podium will house Ryerson’s Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing; Midwifery Education; the Schools of Nutrition, and Occupational and Public Health; University Relations; University Advancement; Food Services and a Fabrication Zone.
