George Brown College
George Brown has three main campuses in downtown Toronto, offering 175 full-time programs (including 10 degree programs) and 182 continuing education certificates or designations. The student residence is within walking distance of both the St. James and Waterfront campuses. All career-focused programs include at least one experiential learning opportunity, excluding upgrading and preparatory programs. Students have access to specialized facilities designed to simulate real-world work environments, including an operating room and hospital suites at the Centre for Health Sciences. Culinary students at George Brown get hands-on experience in the new TCH Marketplace, which offers meal kits, pre-made meals and snacks, beer and wine.
The college’s expanded Waterfront campus includes the City of the Arts complex. The facility, used by school of design students, employees and industry partners, boasts more than 100,000 square feet of learning and collaboration space. Ontario’s first mass timber, low-carbon institutional building, Limberlost Place, will house the college’s Brookfield Sustainability Institute, as well as the school of computer technology, the school of architectural studies and a childcare centre. Completion is expected in late 2024, with students welcomed for classes in January of 2025.
