An immersive creative experience.
The Cultural Hub is the creative focal point of Humber College’s Lakeshore campus. The redevelopment included the addition of two music and performing arts venues specifically designed to host a variety of arts and entertainment programs and festivals, and a new Centre for Creative Business Innovation. This multi-use facility offers additional computer labs and classrooms – including an Indigenous classroom – as well as retail spaces, a cafeteria, community athletic spaces (plus a gymnasium), a rejuvenated campus entrance, a public courtyard, and other shared spaces.
Delivered under an Integrated Project Delivery model, the project team utilized heavy timber construction for this five-year, two-phased construction. Smith + Andersen was engaged to provide mechanical and electrical engineering, as well as lighting, communications, security, audio-visual, and intelligent integrated systems design.

Immerse yourself.
The Humber Cultural Hub is a home for the college’s music, creative arts, and multimedia programs, so specialist, professional-level systems such as audio-visual, communications, and intelligent integration were important features. This project scope includes professional-grade multimedia production and post-production facilities, 3D-animation spaces, music labs, and a music recording studio. The audio-visual designs equip the hub with the ability to record audio and video from multiple venues and route to multiple control rooms and destinations (such as a control room, broadcast truck, etc.). In addition, immersive audio and video technologies were designed for the largest performance hall.
To support the advanced audio-visual systems, the communications system is designed to allow media sharing over a common network through the hub’s various broadcast systems.
