The DTL Ramsay Wright Staging Project was presented by Ron Saporta, Acting Vice-President Operations. Ms. Heather Taylor (Executive Director, Major Projects & Facilities Management, Temerty Faculty of Medicine) was also in attendance.
Aspects of the project highlighted during the presentation included:- the project was an interior renovation with a main goal of modernizing lab facilities to support life sciences instruction on the St. George campus;
- the majority of the renovated space would be for classrooms, undergraduate teaching labs and teaching lab support spaces;
- undergraduate and graduate student representatives from the Division of Teaching Labs and the Faculty of Arts & Science were engaged in the initial Project Planning Committee meetings and the early design stage;
- occupancy was targeted for March 2025;
There were no questions from members.
On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried
YOUR BOARD APPROVED
THAT subject to confirmation by the Executive Committee,
THAT the project scope of the Ramsay Wright Laboratories Building renovation as identified in the Report of the Project Planning Committee for University of Toronto Temerty Faculty of Medicine Division of Teaching Laboratories Ramsay Wright Staging Project, dated March 28, 2023, be approved in principle; and,
THAT the project, totaling 2,367 net assignable square meters (nasm) (2,695 gross square meters (gsm)), of renovated space be approved in principleto be funded by the Faculty of Medicine Division of Teaching Laboratories and the Faculty of Arts and Science operating reserves, divisional contributions to the Future Major Capital Projects Reserve Fund, and Division of Teaching Laboratories financing.
- Capital Project (Level 2): Report of the Project Planning Committee for the Innis College Renovation & Addition – Project Scope and Sources of Funding
The capital project was recommended to Academic Board by the Planning and Budget Committee at its meeting on May 3, 2023.
Ron Saporta introduced the project, with Professor Charlie Keil (Principal, Innis College, on leave) also offering comments, highlights of which included:- the focus of the project was on student services and engagement, collaboration and academic delivery;
- one of the key components of the project would be a larger Innis Café;
- the new Library would be a more accessible barrier-free space;
- the design incorporated an accessible green roof area;
- an elevator would be added, allowing for barrier-free access to all floors;
- construction was anticipated to begin in July 2023, with an approximate 24-month duration;
Professor Jan Mahrt-Smith, Chair of the Planning & Budget Committee, then reported on the Committee’s discussion of the project which it considered at its meeting held May 3, 2023.
A member commended the project’s focus on both internal and external spaces and asked whether improvements similar to those planned for the east to west connection, had been considered westward to connect with the surrounding Huron/Sussex neighbourhood.
Professor Keil explained that, while creating walkways toward the western community was not physically possible because of existing buildings, everything had been done to visually connect the College to the westward community. This included views from the Innis Café, as well as the opportunity for community members to sit at the edge of the westerly facing exterior wall. He explained that the project was limited by virtue of the fact that BP Nichol Lane was a city street and could not be encroached upon, but stated that everything had been done within the project to make the exterior of Innis College on the west side engage with the community to its west.
Addressing a member’s concern about the impact of construction on the community and how it might encroach upon residents’ use of the green space functionally used as a ‘community backyard’, Professor Keil stated that, while it was inevitable that projects of this scope would have impacts, the planning department had developed a communication strategy to keep the neighbourhood informed as the project progressed and aware of restrictions on access to the green space. He added that the College was regarded by the community as a hospitable and collegial neighbour and that he did not believe planned construction would negatively impact that relationship. Mr. Dave Lehto (Chief of University Planning, Design and Construction) added that a construction manager had been engaged during the design stages to develop solutions through consultation, that would ensure everyone’s comfort with the planned construction.
On motion duly moved, seconded and carried,
YOUR BOARD APPROVED
THAT subject to confirmation by the Executive Committee
THAT the project scope of the Innis College Renovation & Addition as identified in the Report of the Project Planning Committee for University of Toronto Innis College Renovation & Addition, dated March 28, 2023, be approved in principle; and,
THAT the project totaling 1,030 net assignable square metres (nasm) (2,328 gross square metres (gsm)), be approved in principle, to be funded by the Faculty of Arts & Science, Innis College and the Provost through a combination of Divisional Future Major Capital & Operating Reserves, Student Levy, Fundraising and Financing.
- Capital Project: Report of the Project Planning Committee for the University of Toronto Libraries (UTL) Downsview High-Density Storage Expansion 2 – Project Scope and Sources of Funding
An overview of the project was provided by Ron Saporta. Mr. Glen Morales (Chief Administrative Officer, University of Toronto Libraries) and Ms. Caitlin Tillman (Associate Chief Librarian for Collections and Materials Processing) were also in attendance to answer members’ questions.
During the course of the presentation, the following aspects of the project were highlighted:- UTL’s existing high-density storage facility was projected to be at capacity by Fall 2024;
- the expansion would provide an additional three bays with storage for 3 million volumes, as well as an additional 1-story processing area and additional space for mechanical equipment;
- housing low-frequency use books in this facility was significantly more affordable than storing them at the St. George campus;
- the project would make valuable space available at the downtown campus for an enhanced student experience;
- given the nature of the facility and that students did not interact with this facility, student consultation was not proposed;
- construction was scheduled to start mid-2024, with full operational occupancy targeted for October 2025;
Professor Jan Mahrt-Smith then commented on the discussion that had occurred at the Planning & Budget Committee meeting held on May 3, 2023.

- New Academic Unit: Proposal to Establish an Extra-Departmental Unit B (EDU: B) - Centre for African Studies, Faculty of Arts & Science
The proposal to establish the Centre for African Studies as an EDU: B at the Faculty of Arts & Science was recommended to Academic Board by the Planning and Budget Committee, which met on May 3, 2023.
The Provost introduced the item for recommendation by the Board. She noted that the African Studies program was first established in 1978 at New College, and was the most established program in the field in Canada and one of the top programs in North America.
The creation of the Centre as an EDU:B aligned with one of the key recommendations of the program’s 2020-21 University of Toronto Quality Assurance Process (UTQAP) review.
There were no questions from members.
On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried
YOUR BOARD RECOMMENDED
THAT the proposal to establish the African Studies Centre as an EDU:B, as described in the Proposal to establish the African Studies Centre (ASC) as an Extra-Departmental Unit B, dated March 23, 2023, be approved effective July 1, 2023 - New Program: Joint Specialist in Music Business & Technology, University of Toronto Scarborough
Professor Susan McCahan (Vice-Provost, Academic Programs) introduced the proposal for a new undergraduate specialist program in Music Industry and Technology, jointly offered by the Department of Arts, Culture and Media at the University of Toronto Scarborough (“UTSC”), and Centennial College. Professor William Gough (Vice-Principal Academic and Dean, UTSC) also offered comments.
Professor McCahan advised that the proposed program combined UTSC’s academic strengths in critical analysis of music and culture; and Centennial’s strengths in offering practical, career-oriented courses in music industry and music technology. Students would primarily enter directly from high school. The Specialist would be 15.5. credits, of which 7.5 would be taught at UTSC and 8.0 credits taught at Centennial. Students would complete an internship through Centennial College in year three, and a capstone course at UTSC in year four. Graduates of the proposed program would be able to work in three industries: sound recording; performing arts companies; and as independent artists, writers and performers. Upon completion, students would receive a U of T Honours Bachelor of Arts and a Centennial Certificate with a focus in either Audio Engineering or Music Business.
Professor McCahan reported that the proposal had undergone extensive consultation with the proposed start date of September 2024.
Professor Gough underscored the strong relationship with Centennial and how the new joint program proposal would further expand the relationship.
Professor Ernest Lam, Chair of the Committee on Academic Policy & Programs, then provided a summary of the Committee’s discussion of the proposal (Report 220, May 4, 2023).
In response to a member’s question regarding whether proper resources and staffing were in place to manage the program’s more involved admission process, Professor Gough indicated that this was a careful consideration and that a process was in place to add staff as needed on an annual basis.
On a motion duly moved, seconded, and carried
YOUR BOARD APPROVED
THAT, subject to confirmation by the Executive Committee
