DOWNSVIEW CAMPUS

It is our newest campus and opened in January 2019. The four-acre campus repurposes the historic de Havilland of Canada building with selective demolition and new construction to create approximately 138,000 square feet of instruction space. The $72-million project includes a new hangar large enough to accommodate today’s commercial jets and will be home to all Aerospace and Aviation programs. It is the first phase in the development of an Aerospace Hub at Downsview Park to bring together academic and industry partners to catalyze new research and development initiatives. 

Nearby features include:

• Downsview Park Subway Station and Downsview Park GO Station
