Facilities employees are enjoying gardening in our new plots organized by the Working on Wellness (WOW) committee at 355 King St. West! Studies show that time spent outside around plants improves mental, physical, and emotional health, as well as promoting social connection.🌱

We're nearly complete on a classroom renovation in Kingston Hall, room 301. Equipped with a series of round tables, it will be a low-tech and team-based active learning classroom. It includes whiteboards and projectors around the perimeter of the room for interactive learning.
