RYERSON’S NEW STUDENT LEARNING CENTRE STANDS OUT AMONG YONGE STREET’S POTPOURRI

SLC2 Despite its rather mundane moniker, the SLC (or Student Learning Centre), newest addition to Ryerson’s campus, makes quite the statement at Yonge and Gould Streets.  An award-winning design, 155,000 square feet of connected and versatile space, home of the Digital Media Experience, Launch Zone and Student Learning Support, and with a bridge walkway to the University’s library, the SLC is altogether 21st century.

SLC4Among the features: touch screen kiosks, dedicated graduate and silent study space, an amphitheatre, eight levels each with a distinctive character, a transparent glass skin, 61 collaborative work rooms, study areas in direct sunlight or diffused lighting, three green roofs and a focus on sustainability.
